Title: Lightroom with NAS server
Post by: troyhouse on March 02, 2007, 08:12:45 pm
Has anyone made a library of their NAS server(in my case an infrant)? It can be done if the library is local but every time I start  it I get the following
"Checking Locations of folders and photos"
and it takes forever to verify them. Any way to avoid this?

I know a certain someone would say to get yourself a LaCie...But I'm curious too, Troy, I just got that NAS thingie from the hermit in Jersey who repaired my drives, as the backup to my ProSataSS8 back en los Estados Unidos...

And I still want to know how you use your imac on the plane

That has been my experience. I can't build a library from the files that reside on my Buffalo Terastation NAS.

I don't think anyone has major-league DAM thing perfected yet - not iView (aka Mirosoft), not Adobe, not Apple. We are all buying software that hasn't tackled some serious integrity and scaling issues in a robust manner.

This isn't just a NAS thing, I think it will occur with any external drives. I store my image files on two external Firewire drives (Lacie Big Disk 1TB) and have the same problem. My Lightroom library is stored locally on my MacBook Pro and every time I start it up I get "searching for files and folders"....I just cancel the task (click the little X next to the progress bar) and it doesn't seems to cause any problems...

I use an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+.
No problems with cataloging files stored there, although I the search for folders everytime LR is started is a bit annoying.   Contrary to what Iview does, LR doesn't seem to have any speed issues with files stored on NAS.

My library is on a local HD.
