DAT and DAL files randomly being created on C:

Post by phibertron » Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:51 pm

I cant remember when it started, but somethings not right with 6.x

I am currently running 6.0.32 on WHS
and every now and then I am seeing tms.dal files appear on the root of c:\
and very very rarely tms.dat files

The folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TwonkyMedia\db
is where all the database files are located
and are usually name as follows

1.tms.dat through 12.tms.dat are the usual files for the database

And there are somtimes tms.dal files for some of the tmd.dat files
for ex: 10.tms.dal through 12.tms.dal

Why these randomly appear in the root of c:\
Not a clue

If I delete them, I see no adverse affect on Twonky Server

I'm still trying to figure out what causes them to get created
whether it be a restart,rescan or other, but have not been able to manually
reproudce the behavior

In any case I figured I'd pass this along
