Minimserver 2 on Pi

[simoncn]

Which model of Pi? What is the I/O speed of the storage device that you have used to install MinimServer? What is your actual (not theoretical) speed for reading files across the network? and the processing power and I/O speed of the Windows machine? and the load on all the above from other activity taking place at the same time?

A simple way to estimate how long it will take is to open the MinimServer log window and select Verbose logging. You will see every folder that MinimServer is reading. From the time taken to read each folder, you can estimate the total time.
