database refreshing

<< < (5/7) > >>

MarcGuay:
I was under the impression that although the "committing database" splash had completed, he had to wait for the disk activity icon to stop before the database was actually finished doing it's work.  I seem to remember running into this myself a long time ago when I first tried the database.

Chronon:
I hadn't read pizza4me's messages that way, I guess.   :-\

I just freshly initialized my database.  I rebooted, waited for it to count up through 9/9 and load the main menu.  I immediately went to the database and see what looks like a complete listing.  What evidence should I see that it didn't update properly?

pizza4me:
I notice it esp. when I take out a larger card, and reboot with a different large card.  If you go straight to the database after reboot, you'll see files from the old card and not all the ones from the new card - because it hasn't had time to refresh everything.

So even though the Committing Database splash goes through 9/9 it actually hasn't refreshed everything.

Chronon:
But if I return to the database once the initial disk access has ceased then I will see the proper listing?  I just want to be clear on the steps since I'm not familiar with this behavior.

MarcGuay:
If the answer to that question is "Yes", which I think it will be from the previous posts, I'd hypothesize that the "committing database" splash is referring to it having completed adding the new songs to the database, but not having removed the old ones from it (note: this only happens with dircache enabled).
