Serviio prevents removal of external drive
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2019 12:54 amI have used Serviio for years without issues, I'm a big fan, and I recommend it frequently.
Today I tried to eject a removable USB drive and Windows complained that it was in use. I'm sure every Windows user has run into this, and usually we solve the problem by yanking the drive out anyway. However, today I felt like investigating...
Looking at the Windows System log, there is the following entry:
The USB drive, however, is not in the Library > Shared folders list in the Serviio console. In fact, that drive has never been shared.
So I am concerned that Serviio is looking at folders/drives that it should not. My concern goes beyond the minor issue of ejecting a drive.
I don't have verbose logging enabled, but I did search the Serviio log and did not find any references to this drive.
