Thankyou. Compatibility used to be a major concern for me, when I had a Windows desktop at home, a Macbook for work and a Mac Mini running LMS. And Linux just scared me! The Windows desktop was retired years ago, that original Macbook now dual boots into MacOS and Ubuntu, and thanks to the ease of using pCP I've also retired the Mac Mini. I've never looked back. I'm starting to find my feet with Linux, and the thought of having 'Linux-only' drives no longer scares me.
So now I have my master library on an ext4 SSD (with journaling switched off), my backup library on a separate ext4 hard disk, and my compressed mirror in a separate folder on that disk. That compressed mirror folder will act as the source for making a flash copy for mobile use, and I'm currently rsyncing it to a third partition on the mobile RPi's SD card, also formatted as ext4 without journaling. With a bit of luck, 'timezone hell' is now a thing of the past (no doubt to be replaced by 'permissions' hell). :) As an aside, given that my overnight cron job updates the backup copy from the master copy, and the compressed mirror from the backup copy, I should probably also do an occasional off-site archive of the master copy, since any file errors/loss in the master copy will quickly propagate to the other copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110496 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
