Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] supported filesystems through USB interface
thanks for the link, I don't see XFS listed there :-(. Maybe some of the devs knows what modules are built into the kernel of the touch and may clarify on the issue here. ;-) -- t0mg t0mg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37834 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] supported filesystems through USB interface
thank you for clarifying my request Felix! Keep up the excellent work, I'll probably end up migrating the data to an NFS share with ZFS and export it from there :-). cheers! t0mg -- t0mg t0mg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37834 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

t0mg;540605 Wrote: Hi All, I've searched both the forums and the wiki regarding the supported file-systems for external media attached through the Touch's USB interface, but couldn't find a detailed list. Do any of the devs know specifically what file-systems does the touch support? Does it support XFS file-system? I keep all my music on an external hard disk formatted with XFS for performance reasons (I've been burnt with EXT3/4)and if the touch doesn't support XFS for external media it's a show stopper for me. I look forward to your answers! t0mg I'm curious. Are you really going to stop your show because of your drive format? External drives are pretty cheap these days. Would you consider a mirror of your music on another drive that is one of the supported file systems? -- pounce pounce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Hi Pounce, u have a good point with the external drives being cheap, and probably will end up doing as per your suggestion. My concern with the filesystem is that I'm a sysadmin and after 13 years of practice I've grown very dependable on the features of the XFS filesystem and recently also from Sun's ZFS (snapshots and the ability to roll-back is bliss. EXT2/3/4 and reiserfs have let me down and crying more than once, and I have a huge collection of flac's that I don't intend to loose to an fsck_of_death from a power failure. Currently I own a Boom connected to slackware server with my flac volume mounted as read-only (yes, I remount it manually in read-write mode every time I add a new rip to my collection). This has several advantages, for instance: - no power failure can corrupt my collection - using XFS command xfs_fsr it defragments and reorganize the inodes making access to massive ammounts of data very quickly, efficently and multi-threaded. This is most noticeable when I stream to my boom and also export the volume using samba for example to play on $random foobar player. - XFS was designed by SGI (Silicon Graphics) for multimedia and massive amounts of data. - there's _no_ fsck of death in XFS, it's journalling/recovery features are very good. anyway, I don't mean to bore u guys with technical details, I'm so eager to get a touch that I'll surely buy it all the same. @Grahame, my backup setup is complicated, but to answer your question: I have a cron job that tar's copies my flac volume to an NFS share on a Solaris server, there I snapshot it with another cron job weekly on a ZFS volume. (I hope I was not to nerdy, feel free to ask me for further clarifications). thanks for the swift replies guys, I value the feedback u gave me :D t0mg -- t0mg t0mg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37834 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] supported filesystems through USB interface
Perhaps overkill for files that can be replicated around without impacts... but I appreciate the geek factor. I've been able to trick the Touch to use an NFS share instead of local storage so there are interesting things you can do. Just buy one. I'm sure you will have fun with it. -- pounce pounce's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
