If you are using Windows or OSX on your computer, format it as FAT32 and it should work both when connected to the Raspberry Pi and the computer. If it's only the initial copy of the library this should work excellently. Transferring 1 TB over WiFi and Samba is likely going to be a bit frustrating unless you have a really good WiFi connection.
If you plan to do it regularly one possible issue is that I'm not sure if SqueezePlug have any web user interface to disconnect the drive safely, so you might have to log into the Raspberry Pi via SSH to unmount it safely without risking to loose any files. Mostly it won't be a problem, but there is always a risk to disconnect a drive from a running system. Another possible issue is that LMS might not like if the drive with music is disconnected while LMS is running. You are probably fine as long as you aren't playing music or browsing the library while the drive is disconnected, but this isn't always easy to control if you have multiple remotes and smart phones with Squeezebox control apps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98939 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
