Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
r8028 of the firmware has ntfs-3g added. Until we work out how to add this to udev for automount, you will have to manually mount your devices like this: # mkdir /media/sda1 # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 Let me know how it works out. I was able to scan a test directory of 4 albums on an NTFS USB stick and write the SBS database to it just fine. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] NTFS Support Needed for Touch
I was about to reformat my 1tb USB backup drive to Fat32 so I could try out TinySC and as I result I've discovered: 1) It is impossible to format large USB drives to Fat32 using Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 gui (which I assume means impossible with Vista too). 2) The Fat32 file system is not capable of holding files larger than 4gb 3) The Fat32 file system is wasteful on disk space 4) Increasingly modern USB drives are being shipped formatted as NTFS 4) TinySC is not slated to support NTFS till 8.0.1 () None of the reasons given in the bug/enhancement for not supporting NTFS at launch add up when compared to the pain this will cause Touch buyers and Logitech support. NTFS support at release is not an enhancement, it's a necessity. Vote for the bug https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12675 MC -- ModelCitizen Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important? Then 'vote for bug 14194' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be made.

I'm glad that we can entertain each other. ;) -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Cyrus 8xp - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70979 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

We need different facts to feed the various hypothesis. JohnSwenson gave us one fact by declaring his perceived differences; Phil will give another one. It's an enriching process. -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Cyrus 8xp - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70979 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
