The first scan seems to take too long
Low risk✓ ProvenWhat you see
- A large game library takes a long time to show up the first time.
What it means
The first time ShadowMountPlus scans your own game backups, it has to register every title. The README says this first scan can take longer if you have a large library, and that very large games need extra time to be checked.
What to do
Wait for the first scan to finish
Source: ShadowMountPlus README ↗Read the log before you restart the mounter
Debug logging is on by default (debug=1). Check /data/shadowmount/debug.log and the ShadowMountPlus notifications to see whether the scan is still moving before you restart anything.
When to stop
Slow is not the same as frozen
A slow first scan, on its own, does not prove that ShadowMountPlus froze. Look at the log before you decide.
