Standard procedure? lol.
emails should always be responded to and lack fo a reply should never be standard procedure. i dont see why people are giving him negative karma, he is quite within his rights to be angry with them if they dont respond to emails.
If there was an alternative company selling them, from all the bad feedback i have read this company would no longer exist!!
it shouldnt become acceptable to be so poor. and they shouldnt take the money until they dispatch the item.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can help me, i have a sheevaplug serving lots of things, including my music.
Ive tried firefly, squeezebox, twonky etc and none of them can handle my 200,000 file music collection. Its just not practical.
My basic requirement for all 200,000 tracks is searchability.... basically i wanna find if i have got something, and find it fast.
So i was wondering if there is a similar solution to google desktop.
i used to use google desktop to index my drives, and give me a webpage which i visited (pretty much a google search engine of my music). i typed the track name, it returned all matches, a hyperlink to open the file in my favourite player, and a file link to the folder location.
is there a similar solution to this i can get for the sheevaplug? and use either a gagdget of some kind or a webpage on client machines to find the tracks i have etc.
any help is appreciated.

Yeah its annoying that it wont shut off properly... i don't leave mine on all the time as its not clever enough to turn my hard drives off properly so i have to shut it down when not in use. So if i leave it on its alot more than just the power of the device being drawn. Pretty sure all servers are always on devices  but they all can turn off properly if you want them to hmmm, that may be an issue with your hdd. I'm using a WD 1.5T Elements and it goes to sleep after 15-20 minutes of inactivity. However on the Linksys NSLU2 (precursor device to the sheeva) I used a Seagate FreeAgent and had to work hard to get it to sleep, but I finally did. feffer nahh i think its just linux. they all sleep fine under windows. ones a samsung story, ones a seagate freeagent. They spindown sometimes but they normamally go into a proper sleep where all the lights turn off etc. ive asked about it before and no one can really provide a solution. |

I use pure-ftpd, it works perfectly, and it is quite easy to configure.
Transfer rate is about 45/50MB/s when connected directly to another computer via (gigabit) ethernet.
What is the link between the computer and the sheevaplug, when you're experiencing problems?
Also, what's your current ftp server?
45/50mb/s ? what device are you writing / reading on the sheeva to get that? |

you can pin the kernel packages, you can use a different name for your kernel (modify u-boot accordingly), mount a different partition/folder on /boot, be careful during updates.
I'm not sure, but i think debian won't upgrade kernel packages during normal "apt-get upgrade" runs.
good idea... when i last upgraded my kernel i sorted my uboot so that it looked for uImage, then i made a symbolic link from latest kernel to uImage, so this is why i experienced the issue i guess. |

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
However im still confused for a few points, first off its loading;
## Booting image at 00080000 ...
Image Name: Debian kernel 2.6.32-trunk-kirk
However, i havent had that kernel running for around 3 weeks now, i was using 2.6.33.8 i think. I didnt update any kernels or similar before the device powered down badly.
Also that kernel which i used to was was working fine with SD support anyway.
So i still dont understand why i cant boot. And why its randomly gone back to a previous kernel?
I think the setenv error is because of this incorrect entry in the printenv, env=boot_mmc=mmcinit.

i do wish i could understand this uboot stuff... but i dont. So please help! Now one of two things may have caused this, apt-get upgrade or the fact that someone powered my plug off when it was working  Basically it appears to be trying to boot from the Nand and not finding the sd card partition. I have taken out the sd card and checked the file system in ubuntu but still no luck. Here's what happens. Marvell>> boot

Ok, trying out the Twonky Beta 6 now, its ticking along nicely so far. Music tracks: 57249 - 0 days, 1:37:44 hours So a few more to scan for yet. Not sure how good this solution will be mind, surely its going to take a very long time to access any songs from remote devices with a 35mb cache already? I now have PlugPlayer on my iphone too (£2.99 from itunes store) to play all my music from tonky, listing takes a long time. But to be honest the main thing i want is a decent media search solution so i can find tracks. My collection needs streamlining when i have time really too. This then made me think, is there a VPN server for the sheevaplug which is compatible with the iphone, correct me if im wrong, but would this not then allow me to access my twonky media from anywhere on my iphone via plugplayer? probably be quite handy for other things too!  I really would love to solve power saving for the usb drives also so i can turn the cadys off completely (they support it on windows)... but this seems to be a dead end on the sheeva plug which is a big shame. |

i tried twonky as well and it kept hanging and crashing through late states of the scan... i imagined it was because it was too many songs.
i may try again though.
