Topic: 2nd drive doubles my VDJ database

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

My PC has 3 internal harddrives
1x 256GB SSD for system
2x 2 TB for music & video

one of the 2TB hardisk is a perfect copy of the other and I keep them in sync.

Now in VDJ I see everysong 2 times.

How can I change that so I only see the data from 1 drive. eliminate form search database etc...

I would suggest making it a RAID 1 pair. That will take care of your issue because it would be seen by the system as a single drive.
Added benefits would be that it would keep the drives in sync with each other and if either fails, the other one would still work without the OS or VDJ even hiccuping.

See HERE for details and instructions for configuring RAID. I did that on an old setup I had (before I went back to a laptop) and it worked very well.

If you're thinking... "sounds great but I am just looking for a quick solution", then you could just right click on the drive in VDJ and say 'remove from search DB" however if you are using some kind of application to keep the drives in sync, then it may show up again if it copies the VDJ database xml file from the one drive to the other.

What he said..lol
 
I believe you can very simply rename the XML file on the copy drive, then remove from search until you finish your gig then rename file back and do your sync after.
 
 
Djdad, you made my day, this is what I was looking for.
 
 
Good To know, Does that mean you could if you needed to acquire a drive manually look up songs not normally kept in your library?, Use them, ...and then be able to remove that drive from your search once your done, so it doesn't clog up your search with files you don't usually use or need?
