RedBaron164 18 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've been monitoring my Emby server trying to improve performance. I'm seeing high disk activity when library.db gets hit pretty hard. My disk active time maxes out or gets very high and then the response time for the C: drive starts to climb and its about 500ms. So I would like to move the library.db to a secondary drive to see if it helps with overall performance. Is that something that's possible and has anyone tried it? I've moved the cache location to a secondary drive as well and that helped a bit but I want to try moving library.db if it's at all possible.

Luke 37050 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, we currently don't have any settings for this. You would just have to start fresh with a new portable install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBaron164 18 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ok, I'm going to try moving the Metadata path first and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodges 37 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Maybe try a symbolic link. Yes, you can do them on windows: (do a hard link) https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ Edited June 8, 2017 by rhodges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I continue to see disk activity issues with the library.db file I'll probably give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBaron164 18 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just an update, I created a symbolic link for the entire Emby-Server\data folder and moved it to a separate drive and it works great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
