Planning for new hardware is something that you should seriously think
about but back to your original question.
LMS has no inherent limitation on database size. Memory is very
important for performance especially on a 7.7.* system.
If LMS is becoming unreliable - the initial step would be

Almost any i2s dac will "play sound" with the generic i2s audio driver.
Without a specific driver. Control lines to the DAC that would change
how the DAC processes data, or even simple things like muting the DAC

As regards reinstalling LMS altogether, not sure about how to move it
elsewhere... but I don't see the point. The software itself doesn't take
much space.
As already said, there is a risk that an old system doesn't have the
right Perl modules required for recent versions of LMS, so you open a

LMS itself doesn't really need to move, it's just the library data. You
can create symlinks to any location without reinstalling anything...
Just be careful about:
- folder/file permissions in the new location
- making sure the new drive (with LMS data) is mounted before LMS
starts

Wow. So you have an ancient fileserver with IDE running an obsolete OS
and version of LMS with 400k+ tracks over 4 data disks.
I'd be looking at a Pi4 4GB plus a NAS (raid1) pretty quickly to be
honest. HW failure WILL happen its just a question of when.
What else does the fileserver do?
VB2.
alot +400k tracks on 4 different disks

Shouldn't the real first question be should I upgrade the hardware it is
running on or not? If it is a 7 year old installation then its at least
7 year old hardware.
Can you tell us more about the system you are running LMS on and also
the size of your library and where that is located?

The packaged linux installations such as deb and rpm fill will install

Using a tar ball, you can do a manual installation but you may to build

This is of course possible, but requires some basic linux skills.
My first question is: what do you mean by 'boot disk'? Is this the disk
where your entire linux system is installed?
And is LMS installed via a deb-package?
The basic installation of LMS is not that big, but the database +
artwork
