Strange exclusion of folders on Linux
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:28 pm
Hi together,
just switched to version 5.0 and was wondering why my media is not indexed. As figured out the new version excludes many default folders on linux like /var /bin and /srv...
While I agree that it doesn't make much sense to index /var and /bin it should be allowed to index stuff under /srv as this is reserved for "Data for services provided by this system"
Even worse: When indexing /, the message that some folders are excluded is logged, when indexing something like /srv/mymedia no log entry is stored, which makes troubleshooting a hell.
Workaround: create a softlink like "ln -s /srv /mysrv" to enable indexing in twonkyserver.
It would be nice if this would be resolved in one of the next releases.
Kind regards
Arne
PS: an up to date documentation of the ini file and the app would be helpful as well..
