Slow response from USB HDD

[Tim Curtis]

You have to first isolate the issue because slowness could be due to a slow network, slow SD Card or slow etc.

Open an SSH terminal and list the directory of the the USB drive. It should be almost instant.

Code:

# Shows the DRIVE_LABEL
ls /media

# List the directory
ls /media/DRIVE_LABEL

To "reset" the MPD database:
1. Unplug the USB drive then Menu, Update library
2. Plug drive back in then Menu, Update library
