This can be done I am currently running an OpenSolaris machine (Intel QuadCore Q9400, 4 Gig RAM w/Virtual extensions) with all my music on a ZFS raidz filesystem. This music is shared out by samba. Squeezeboxserver is running on a virtual debian machine in VirtualBox, accessing the music through the samba share on the OpenSolaris host. The virtual machine performs great. Debian was chosen due to the great package system apt, which can install and update squeezeboxserver with a few simple commands. I did try using NFS between host and virtual machine, but i found that samba was ten times faster when doing a full music search. Takes 10 to 15 minutes to fully scan and build database for a 12000 track flac collection. -- stone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
