Search via ETP server can be improved

Post by none2003 »

Hi Void,

I have a desktop PC with a external disk array, and I install Everything on this desktop as server, and I use same version on a laptop to search files on desktop via ETP. That external disk array will suspend if no access in 30 minutes to save some power.

The version of Everything was 1.2.1.371, and even when external disk array suspended, it can still provide result without activate that driver. However recently I upgraded Everything to 1.3.4.686, I found it will active the external driver if it is suspended. When times of this activation behavior becomes more and more, I'm afraid of it causing side effect to the lifespan of my external disk array.

Is it possible to search the suspended driver without active it on 1.3.4.686?

Thanks for developing this great tool, makes my day easier.

Everything might be re-indexing when the drive goes off line and re-indexing when it comes back online..
This could be causing the offline drive to wake.

Please try enabling offline volumes.
