I would like to run All file systems read only to avoid this in the
future. But I'm not sure how I can do that with slimserver.
Slimserver updates the .slimserver.pref EVERY time the song changes.
I'm currently doing some tests with damnsmalllinux.org (DSL - which is
based on Knoppix). I'm currently running it from a CF card in read-only
mode. all writable stuff can be redirected to ramdisk (by default). I then
mount the disk containing the music read-only.
This setup should work fine, but needs some good planning as settings
obviously can't be changed in the running machine.
For slimserver, I'm thinking of re-mkfs'ing the home directory at boot
time, mounting it and then
copying the slim db, config files, etc. One issue is loss of
playlists, etc. I suppose I could implement a cron job to update the
master read-only copies once per day.
Was planning to do the same: back up settings, db & co. once in a while to
a free space on my CF card.
Anyone have any ideas or done any work on this?
Have a look at DSL and my "SlimCD": http://www.herger.net/slim/. There was
some discussion about it in the plugins forum.
