    I use unslung 6.10b with an external 1G USB-Stick. Because I see read/write access to the Stick (LED blinking about 42 times a minute) I’m worrying about the lifetime of the USB-Stick. I found out in the wiki that I have to move the song database from USB-Stick /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db to HD. After I did this, made the changes in the mt-daapd.conf file and restarted Firefly everything works as before, but I still have LED blinking about 42 times a minute. The only package I installed are Firely, ssh and MC. Can someone tell me what generate this LED blinking and how I can solve that?
