Is it a bad thing to have so many java processes? MinimServer is running fine, not a problem to me. Just curious :-)

Thanks very much for trying this. From this evidence, it seems clear that the level of Linux in the Synology x86 models (glibc 2.3.6) is so old that it doesn't support pthreads.

In the last few weeks, I've investigated reports by two different users, both on Synology x86, of an intermittent problem with tracks failing to start playing. I'm beginning to suspect that this large number of java processes and the lack of pthreads support might be related to these problems. Have you seen anything like this on your NAS?
