[RDD] RD3, convert standalone to server

[nathaniel.steele]

I want to convert a standalone install to a server. I was looking over the
install script, but I'm not a great programmer..Can I just snip the commands
for a server install out of the script and run them? Or can I just re-run
the script with -server instead of -standalone? I have data in the database
and /var/snd that I would want to preserve obviously.

 

Thanks

If I recall correctly the big difference between a workstation and a
server is:

-MySQL gets set up so that clients other then the local host can connect
to it and the user ID used for logging into mysql gets set up for remote
(non-local) logins in MySQL
-/var/snd gets shared over NFS (with nfs installed if it isn't already)

As I recall there also may be a few tweaks to MySQL's setup to give it
better performance over a network, but I'm not sure if those tweaks are
included in the setup scripts or not.

[RDD] RDImport

[Mark Murdock]

OK, need some help. I've been using rdimport to import a bunch of songs from 
our SS32 system into Rivendell, and just as I was about to finish up, I started 
getting an error that said, "Audio Converter Error: No space left on device, 
skipping [file name]." The drive is a 1.5 TB drive, and there's plenty of space 
left on it, but when I looked at the properties of /var/snd it said that 49.5 
GB had been used of 53.7 GB, and that there is only 133 MB left (99% used). Is 
there a way to expand the space allocated for /var/snd? Is there a solution for 
this?

Thanks!

Hi Mark.
What format are you storing your audio files in? Mp2 or pcm wav? A way to
work out is a 3 minute audio file is 30 mb if pcm wav, whereas mp2 is about
4mb. Pcm wavs will fill your hard drive quickly.
Many thanks

We store everything uncompressed. We can use audio stored for later editing 
without cascading compression losses. 

What's the down side to compressed storage? Stacking compression has possibly 
unknowable consequences. Storage and playback is straightforward without coding 
or decoding. If you have compressed files in your automation and then you 
decode that on playback and stream that audio you are decompressing it again. 
Every pass through lossy compression makes the audio quality worse and worse.

What's the upside of compression? A 10TB disk is ~$200. Most radio station 
libraries aren't that big, even when PCM storage is used. So, what's the gain? 
When drives were expensive, you could make a case for compression of audio. I 
just don't see an imparitive now.

We record everything that is broadcast at our station 24/7/365. We do that with 
Apple Lossless  Compression. It statistically saves about 40% in disk size over 
PCM. A year's storage is contained  on a single 3TB disk. Because it's lossless 
we can use it for later production without stacking compression quality losses.

Hi Mark,

you need a bigger drive. I started with 1TB and am now running 4TB which 
cost less that the 1TB at the time it was purchased!


We are at about 80,000 cuts which is a reasonable size.

There are reams of reasons not to use 'compressed' files. #1 is 
compressed = leave stuff out.


I have clients with  systems that use other formats. The difference is 
noticeable.


Some motherboards are not able to manage drives greater than 2TB. There 
are ways around this.


Optimum system has a big drive mounted as /var/snd which stores audio.

Do not panic about audio you have already imported. You can rename 
/var/snd install the new big drive then copy files over.


How many tracks do you have in the WO system? What format are they in? 
You may find they are 22050 sample rate as well as being mp3 @ 128kbs.


Over time if you can get back to the source audio and import that you 
will notice a big difference


regards

Robert Jeffares
