Lima volume not seen

[bvoges]

I have most of my files on a Lima volume mapped to l:. I'd like to be able to use Lima to search that volume.

I'm running Lima Version 1.4.0.713b (x64).
I've added the volume to the Everything.ini thus:

Code: Select all

ntfs_volume_guids="\\\\?\\Volume{f2b21c43-677d-11e5-9acd-806e6f6e6963}","\\\\.\\l:"
ntfs_volume_paths="C:","l:"

What else can I try?

Thanks

I can see now that my .ini file changes are not persisting. If I change the .ini file, start Everything, then shut down Everything, my changes are gone.

I am changing the file in Users\{my name}\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Everything.ini

There is also a copy in the Everything program folder, but its entire contents are:

Code: Select all

; Please make sure Everything is not running before modifying this file.
[Everything]
; settings stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
app_data=1

How do I prevent this?

UPDATE: Nevermind, I realized I hadn't shut down the Everything service. Now the .ini file changes are persisting, but the L: volume is still not showing.

I didn't realize you had to shut down the Service?
AFAIK you don't have to?
But you're the second person to say that changes did not persist?
See if anything here helps, Macrium Reflect mounted volumes not seen.

By the way, what is "Lima"?

The Everything service doesn't touch the Everything.ini.
Maybe the Everything client was still running?

Could you please run fsutil to gather information about your lima drive:

From a command prompt (Windows Key + R, Enter in: cmd ), run:
fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo l:

where l: is your Lima drive.

What is displayed in the command prompt?

[bvoges]

Here it is:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\bvoges>fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo l:
Volume Name : Lima
Volume Serial Number : 0x0
Max Component Length : 260
File System Name : NTFS
Is ReadWrite
Supports Case-sensitive filenames
Preserves Case of filenames
Supports Unicode in filenames
Preserves & Enforces ACL's
Supports Reparse Points

By the way, on Tools > Options > NTFS, the L: volume does appear in the list, and "Include in database" is checked.

Also, Lima is a device that lets you add a storage device (mine is a 3tb external drive) that then acts as a personal cloud, accessible from any device. For example, I have my iTunes library on my Lima device, in my living room in Arlington, MA, and I have accessed those files from my laptop in Dover, NH, and Orlando, FL.

Right now I'm having an issue with iTunes, though and it would be really nice to be able to search my iTunes media folder with Everything .

Select the "Automatically include new fixed volumes" and "Automatically include new removable volumes" and check if the drive L: is on the list.

Everything 1.4

[bvoges]

Yes, both boxes are checked, and the L: volume appears in the list and still, files on L: don't appear in the list of files.
