Minimserver readfoldercache operation causing delay in Minimserver startup

[tboooe]

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately my old POS NAS (Thecus N4100Pro) does not support running Minimserver on it though I know I could try. Not sure it worth the effort. Aside from scanning, I have no issues streaming high def music across my network.

The PC that has Minimserver installed in running Server Essentials on an SSD so I would expect the readfoldercache operation to be fast as well. Question, why is readfoldercache even required? Is there a way to disable it?

Hoewver, if you have set startupScan to false, MinimServer will not scan your library at startup but will instead read its local cache of your music library. The calls to readFolderCache confirm this is what MinimServer is doing. The cache file is in your user folder and I presume this is on a local disk. If so, it should normally be read fairly quickly.

Please enable Verbose logging and do a Restart. On my Windows PC (with an SSD), album folders are read at a speed of 100 folders per second. What speed are you seeing for this?
