It's Beta 1.1, but it's been running OK for the last 24 hours. I think it may just be new system teething problems. I'm also going to be formatting my external HDD to EXT3/4 (it's currently HFS+) which will hopefully improve things.

Still trying to get to grips with Xbian as there is so much to configure, but am getting there!

the new installation will for sure during first start update xbmc add ons etc. this will cause quite load on the RPI. anyhow this is not something you can re-schedule. XBMC is updating internals on it's own.

btw: for external HDDs there is by default used "sync" parameter. this will help avoid issues on disconnecting HDD without proper umount before. if you are aware of needed umount and are used to do it, remove the sync from mount options specified at /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf. as "sync" will degrade your write speeds on USB mounts below 200kB/s.
