Hello,

I just upgraded my empeg with a bigger second harddisk; everything is working perfect - exception to the "building music database" everytime I boot the player. The harddisks are ok, the filesystem too (fsck didn't report any error). I just had a look in the FAQ, where is mentioned that I have to delete several database-files in /drive(0|1)/var. But there aren't any files!? Any idea what's going wrong with my empeg? I have installed the 2.00 dev-image with the newest hijack-version.

Thanks,

Falk Brockerhoff

I suspect a boot log is going to be useful.

Hello,

yes, I followed the "Upgrade Drive"-Howto and mounted a 30Gig and a 40Gig drive - there is no data I want to "take over" from the old 10Gig harddisk.

Here's the serial output:

I would go ahead with that FAQ entry and skip the lines deleting the old files. The method should regenerate the database for you.

I'd do the deletion lines anyway in case the files were there and you just didn't happen to see them because you typed the LS command wrong or something. Worst that could happen is it says file not found.

Hello,

this works. I already read this FAQ-entry, but was too confused finding noting in /drive(0|1)/var, so that I didn't finished the steps *selfslap

Thank you!

Falk

Updating FAQ entry to say some or all of the deletions might not work.

Very good...
