June 22, 20206 yr hi with the pandemic i decided to move my music from my External Hard drives to the array and re use the hard drives for something else.. so i DJ weddings etc and carry music on external hard drives with me using NTFS format but i been having issues i made a share and map network drive like X: to my music folder and my array is using BTRFS also it saves a database and virtual folders on the X: drive map location of my favorites you can say of songs.. also i set when i made the share that DISKx would be specificially to music so i wouldnt need to spin up the entire array just the one disk and i guess the PArity drive too but i find its locking up the software.. and i also noticed the drive was also spinning down when i was supposedly accessing the music... the database it uses is a XML file located on the drive it scans for certain songs... my question if anyone has done this or similar or something how to avoid it from locking up my dj software it goes in an endless loop my idea was i could keep the music on the array and its protected by the Parity drive.. but just seems software is not liking it.. and i perfer the drive to spin down when not in uuse as its just one of my data disks.. currently i trying i shoved a HD into my unraid as an unnasigned NTFS drive and mapped my music to it.. and hopefully no issues then.. but i was wanting it protected when i added new music... is it because my Filesystem is BTRFS and NTFS for my dj music... is it because the database is on Data Disk with Parity that is constantly checking and Writting when i modify in program and it alters the Database.. i know not unraid question i just was hoping maybe someone in my similar situation was able to point me what they have done to fix it etc Edited June 22, 20206 yr by comet424
