A quick update on this, I like to give some info back after asking! ;-)
In the end I went for a different route. a) I installed a SSD disk in my little M-ITX DIY Vortexbox machine. This for two reasons: > I want to seperate OS and music storage. After needing to fully back-up and restore about 1 Gb of music this was not a proces I wanted to do again. Because it is too much hassle, and also as I not like working 2 drives hard at the same time that contain all my music. > Quicker boot-up of the server (not really that important but little side benefit) > Being able to change OS on my server without touching the music storage. I am still planning to get a new storage drive as this one is getting on a bit. b) For now I installed the Snakeoil OS (https://www.snakeoil-os.net/). I had a quick look at continuing with Vortexbox, but the higher pace of development and seemingly more active developer and community with snake-oil attracted me. Also installing SSD and strorage on different drives seemed a bit complicated going by the instructions. Also had a look at Daphile, but felt it lacked a bit of transparancy in how it functioned and the software components. c) I mounted my old Vortexbox drive in Snakeoil to access the data. That was slightly more complicated as the Vortexbox data is a LVM volume. With these instructions it was however done in a few minutes: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-mount-an-lvm-volume-partition-command/ Everything seems to be working fine, still needs a bit of final tweaking. I'm now running LMS 7.9.0, Tidal is streaming in flac (what was the catalyst for this whole proces), my music library is about done with rescanning. Only thing that is giving me issues is the 'material' skin plug-in, might need a newer LMS for that. With a small donation to Snakeoil I can 'activate' all the functions, which includes an installer to update LMS to what you prefer. I loved using Vortexbox, and feel somewhat sad to leave it behind after all the reliable listening pleasure it has given me, but I feel this is an overall better solution for my needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bolle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107108 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
