Thanks Ron, figured it out for myself in the end though… 1249 was up and running until about 6 this morning, 12 hours, but it died too, maybe for the same reason as 1281.
Anyway, I’ll run a log this evening and see what happens.
It took over 2 hours to recreate my database (~13K songs on an NSLU2 running uNSLUng 5.5). Is that normal?
