February 24, 201115 yr I am running 4.7 with 8x1TB Hard Disks with a Asus P5Q Deluxe Motherboad, with 2 x Adaptec 1430 cards Posted the following on The Green Button's website, but include it on this forum in case it is a UNRaid issue Every now and then I keep losing the Video and Picture Library's in W7 MCE, when this happens only a reboot will correct matters. Sometimes I get an error message stating that a media centre application has not started and to restart media centre. Howewer this has no effect and I have to reboot. I also have another issue which may be related to the above, in that on reboot W7 sometimes reports that it cannot connect to network drives (I keep all my media on a remote NAS with seperate mapped drives for TV, Video, Music, Photos etc). My Computer shows the drives but with a red cross against them, however clicking on each drive will bring up it's contents. Sometimes I have open My Computer and click on each red crossed drive and then open MCE for media to be seen. However this is only ever a problem with Videos and Photos, other mapped drives for example Music and TV are never a problem. So this cannot be a network problem??? I have recently completely rebuilt my HTPC, formatting the hard disk in the process, but the problem remains?
February 25, 201115 yr It sounds like the issue you may be having is too many open files. If you search for that on this forum you should come up with the solution. Do you have your screen saver in MCE disabled? For some reason windows will not close the photo files and you get the too many files open which gives the problem you are seeing.
February 25, 201115 yr Author I have updated UnRaid To 4.7 which I thought solved the "Too Many Open Files" problem? Something seems to be wrong in accessing / deleting files, is this related?

February 25, 201115 yr Author I have done some detective work, from tests so far it would appear that Mapped Drives are lost when Unraid disks are set to spin down. Setting no spin down seems to cure the problem. Mapped drives are set to reconnect on login I have anoher PC on my network running Vista which has not such problems?
February 27, 201115 yr I also have another issue which may be related to the above, in that on reboot W7 sometimes reports that it cannot connect to network drives (I keep all my media on a remote NAS with seperate mapped drives for TV, Video, Music, Photos etc).

However this is only ever a problem with Videos and Photos, other mapped drives for example Music and TV are never a problem. So this cannot be a network problem??? Yep, have seen all this. Using a script in the windows startup folder which gets executed on boot seems to solve it. I do use unraid spindown for all drives. Below is what mine looks like. After booting my Win 7 machine sleeps and wakes without issue and the drive reconnect feature seems to work. @echo off rem reconnect raid_01 drives manually since vista/win 7 mapped drives reconnect fails rem first disconnect all drives and re-login to confirm no re-connect rem net use * /d net use H: \\raid_01\disk1 net use I: \\raid_01\disk2 net use J: \\raid_01\disk3 net use K: \\raid_01\disk4 rem net use X: \\raid_01\cache
