Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
Ok so I'll try one more time... Have you used LMS to drill down to a working track and find the path that LMS is using? Likewise you could do the same for a non-working track and compare the two paths to see the difference (or not). To me this is crucial - if LMS can see the working files then you need to find out where LMS is looking.

Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
Did you try what d6jg suggested? Can you check where the valid file in LMS is pointing, and where the broken item is pointing? Maybe you then can figure out where to find the working files on your system.

Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
hi muksuluuri, Normally, if 2 drives fail in a 4 disk array your files are gone. :( Your files are striped across the 4 drives. I am not familiar with ZPS though. In a professional environment, monitoring disk health is daily task and disks are replaced when they become unhealthy rather than completely fail. You also have to remember that the disk rebuild process can take some time and if another disk fails in the array during the rebuild process you have a big problem. I can't see a mechanism where files are available through one application but not available through the operating system. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
My NAS broke. The LMS and the library both are on the linux mint machine. Sorry if I wasn't being clear on that. Another concern is that from the original NAS two HDs broke. Now the music is on ZFS on the remaining two HDs. Which of course is very stupid, because if the first two HDs broke and the two remaining ones are of the same manufacturing batch, there is a risk that they are faulted too and that it is just a matter of time. So I am a bit nervous and want to get the music into a safe location.

Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
Where is LMS actually running ? I have read through the thread and must assume its on a different machine to the desktop and NAS that you refer to. If I am right have a look at the path that LMS thinks the files are stored at and try shelling onto the NAS directly from the LMS machine using that path and NOT from your desktop. EDIt. Now I see that LMS is ona Linux mint box. Shell to the NAs from there.

This sounds like an issue with the file system, rather than LMS applying some magic. If LMS can see the files, then you can see them, too. But you might want/need to see what is wrong with zfs. Don't panic. The files obviously are there. Leave the system alone while you figure out the details :-).

Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
Also on my system If I right click on the location I get the option to download the linked file, (also a Linux mount point to a share on a NAS) That's correct. But LMS will only allow you to download a single file at any time. I don't think this will be a reasonable way to get to the files. But anyway: if LMS can see the "correct" files, then you should be able to do so, too. You're better off trying to understand the real problem and fix it with some tool closer to the OS than LMS. Good lesson learnt here, regarding backups... even a couple of 2.5" external USB hard drives won't break the bank and would give you two separate copies to recover from. Yes! Backup. Do backups.

Re: [slim] downloading files from LMS
In LMS if you drill down through your library to an individual track, in the left hand pane, you should get a location for that track, this may provide you with a clue as to the whereabouts of the good working file(s). Also on my system If I right click on the location I get the option to download the linked file, (also a Linux mount point to a share on a NAS) which works for me. Might be time consuming but if no better methods appear at least you might be able to get your rare mp3's safely off the NAS.

Hi,
source is your Music store
dest is your backupdisk
to only copy files larger than 1MB ->
find *source* -type f -size +1024k -exec cp {} *dest* \;
if you have jpg in the folders you should run a
find *source* -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec cp {} *dest* \;
afterwards
But dont delete the old sourcefiles !
I do own much stuff thats under 1MB in size and these files are just
shorter tracks / Intros outros

I really don't want to rebuild database or anything else, I'm just looking for a way to save my music. If I browse the files in any other way, be it windows, linux, all I can see is the corrupted files. Once I have the files safe I can rebuild database. For the moment I'm not worried about double files, only about saving the music. Most of my music is ripped from my original CDs. It would be a huge task to rip it all again. Plus there are some rare stuff I only have as mp3s.

[slim] downloading files from LMS
Hi All, I decided to register and ask help for a problem I've had for quite some time. Is there a way to download/copy all files from LMS? Here's the background as to why I'm asking this. A long time ago my NAS broke and I started the recovery process, which for the most part was a success. I was able to save most of my music. Something went very wrong though, and in LMS I can see most of the folders and files as a double. The first folder contains the music that plays fine and the second only zero byte songs or just some tracks that play for a few seconds. If I browse the files normally on a computer I can only see the zero byte and bad files. This is some sort of file system corruption issue I suppose. Just to make it clear, the only way to see the proper files is via LMS and squeezebox. The file system is ZFS with two mirrored hard drives, if that makes any difference. Now I'd like to find a way to safely copy the music to another destination, and then delete the original files and rebuild the library. Naturally I'd like to understand why the double file thing has happened, but the most important thing for me is just to be able to copy and save my music.
