rsync certainly works well for backups, I use it hourly at work for
snapshots of a few machines. Painfully slow the first time you run it,
but after that it's quick.
if slimserver is running as user 'slimserv', do this as 'you' (ie, not
the slimserver user):
cd /wherevermusicis
find . -type d -exec chmod 755
find . -type f -exec chmod 644
That will find all directories below your current directory ('.') and
make them world-readable/executable, then find all files and make them
world-readable.
No write permissions.
Then, as 'you,' (either locally or through Samba), you can mess with
files all you want and the server can't.
On my system the default 'umask' is 022 and I changed the Samba config
to match that, so new files and directories are created
world-read/execute but never writeable by anyone but me.
You may want to recheck your convert.conf - there really isn't anything
you need to even check/uncheck from the default install, and if you're
missing a '-' on the transcoding lines, it could very well overwrite
files. The trailing - is so that it doesn't write the output to a
file, but if it's missing, it will... according to the lame docs, it
insists on both input and output filenames.. but...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/needsorting$ lame --resample 44100 --silent -q 9 --abr
64000 foo.mp3
actually creates foo.mp3.mp3
That's still not overwriting files, but would explain why transcoding
isn't working.
