MOC Player creates a large database in /root/.moc/cache I don't know what the database is for and I can't find a way to turn it off or make it smaller. If I delete the database then MOC just recreates it again on next run. I tried to make /root/.moc/cache as a symlink to /tmp/cache but MOC doesn't like that and crashes on start up. |

hi xan have you tried symlinking it elsewhere, such as onto a folder on your harddrive? _________________ Tahrpup, built with trusty tahr packages http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96178 Quickpet_Precise, install popular apps quickly http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83642 |

Did you actually create /tmp/cache? You may need to create it every time you boot using a startup script. How large is the database? Is there enough space in /tmp for it? _________________ Classic Puppy quotes - root: n. the superuser or administrator account that has complete control over everything in the machine.

Thanks for the suggestion. For some reason it doesn't work with /tmp, but I found that it works fine if I symlink to /dev/shm instead. I hope I'm not creating a problem by doing that but all good so far. |
