Hi guys,
I’m using a DNS-323 running Firefly 1498. I have a pretty huge music library and with some recent additions I’m up to 67,000 songs. Unfortunately, since adding the last 15,000 songs or so I’ve run into an annoying issue.
Each time the library is rescanned (on startup for example) the server crashes.
Typically, I see something along the lines of:
008-08-20 19:34:41 (00000400): Serving 67203 songs. Startup complete in 196 seconds
2008-08-20 19:34:41 (00000400): Rescanning database
2008-08-20 19:55:19 (00000400): Starting playlist scan
2008-08-20 19:56:53 (00000400): Rendezvous socket closed (daap server crashed?) Aborting.
2008-08-20 19:56:53: AbortingI don’t have any problems with initial scans, just the timeouts/crashes on rescans.
To get Firely to start I have to delete the songs.db entirely.
This is no doubt caused by the limited RAM/CPU power in the DNS-323 and the number of songs I’ve got in the library. I’m wondering if I can bypass rescans entirely until I’m ready to delete songs.db and scan manually.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Then try again and check the log. Most possibly there is a corrupt file of some sort, which gets firefly on his knees.
21/08/2008 at 1:23 PM #17629fizzeParticipantYes, there is an config option to surpress the initial scan.
Also, you can set the rescan interval to 0 then it will not rescan automatically. Ever. 8)21/09/2008 at 8:50 PM #17630AnonymousInactiveCan anyone point me to the config option to supress initial scans?
22/09/2008 at 9:54 AM #17631stretchParticipantYou’ll find it in the advanced configuration section.
It’s labelled “Skip first Scan”You could also do it by editing the config file directly and add
skip_first = 1
to the scanning section
