Hi,
I'm a bit of a Linux noob, but I've been doing pretty well at tracking things down and fixing them so far, so I hope I'm not too much of a PIA for you guys.
I could use some help, though!
I have LMS installed on a Bodhi Linux box that has three internal HDDs. All of my music is on a separate, dedicated HDD that the Bodhi installer decided to identify as /media/sda1. On this box, I used to run XP with iTunes and LMS, so all of my music is in a directory at /media/sda1/itunes/itunes music
At first everything was great, LMS scanned my large music folder (35K tracks or so) with no problem, and connecting with and playing back on my SB3 was also effortless.
But twice now LMS has changed the path for my Media Folder from where I set it (/media/sda1/iTunes/iTunes Music) to /media/sdc1. I don't even know what /sdc1 is...its empty and it won't even let me put things in it if try. Oddly, I note that LMS does not change the path for Playlists Folder, which is the same.
When this path switch happens in LMS, the scan takes forever and I realize that its actually removing all 35K tracks from LMS. SO, I abort the scan, manually change the path back to the correct one, rescan, and its fine.
I thought I read somewhere that an external drive should NOT be in /media, but I haven't looked any more deeply into that or how to change it. And because I'm not sure that's really the problem, I've avoided messing with it.
Any ideas?
