I moved the .jriver folder to a non-encrypted partition, soft-linked from the Home directory and ran up mediacenter. Voila! Pretty pictures!

There's probably a small penalty for accessing the MC database through the soft-link but it's negligible in my case.

The fallocate man-page doesn't mention encryped partitions so I'll report it to Ubuntu.

Nice find!
fallocate is used in MC to preallocate a file block.
The reason it's used is that it's much faster than ftruncate.

Changed it to use ftruncate if fallocate isn't supported.

Nice.

BTW, the image import facility is very impressive, especially with multiple albums:)

I've not thrown my entire library at it, but it's dealing with sizeable chunks quite nicely.

Cheers, Roger.
