Program becomes unresponsive [Solved]

<< < (2/2)

Zootsuit:
Library is now on C Drive. (For some reason, when backing up the library, it reverted to a remote location on an NAS.)

Library is located partially on 2 NAS devices (Disk Station+Synology), partially on 3 external drives ( E , F and G).

I've restored the library from the C Drive. Let's see what happens. Odd, that the problem materialized quite recently - that's been the alignment for quite a while. Ideally, everything would be in one location, on a local drive, but this is what I'm dealing with right not.

JimH:
The library being on a slow drive would cause problems.

That's a pretty messy drive situation.

Are the three external drives USB drives?  One big one would be better.  Make sure they are on USB 3.0 ports.

Power could also be a problem.

If you do add another drive, assign it to Z: to avoid conflicts when a drive isn't available.  Use MC to move the files.

blgentry:
I think there's confusion here about the Library (the MC database files) and the Media Files (songs, videos, etc).

Jim wants to make sure that your database is on a fast drive and that it's an internal or directly attached drive.

Brian.

Zootsuit:
No confusion - we're all talking about the database files. When I created the library backup file (the data file, not the media itself), for some reason the target directory had shifted from the C Drive to one of the NAS devices. I don't recall doing it, but when I corrected that, the performance issues went away.

Sorry for any ambiguity. Thanks all for your responses.
