Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
lol. I was thinking for the guys only using LMS for internet based streaming. No real need to cache anything...but we would have to keep the cache real small, or disable it altogether. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108477 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

So i do know something about it. A rpi has 512 or 1024 mb RAM overall and picore also resides in that small portion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
Yes LMS server installation kinda violates the pCP premise.in that you can just yank the power cord whenever you want. After initial installation, the Cache and Prefs are store on the boot drive of the system. This puts the system at most risk. Moving the cache to a USB stick is a better configuration. If that drive becomes corrupted for some reason, the system will still at least boot. We could reduce the risk, by leaving the Cache on a ramdisk, and then backup the preferences and plugins on demand. But I don't think there is a way to keep LMS from filling up the memory with the cache. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108477 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
PCP is an excellent LMS server. The hardware is more than adequate for music streaming. Using pCP as a LMS does indeed conflict with the target of not writing to the filesystem. That said, my pCP based server has been in (work-)daily use for about 8 months. No problem so far, it's working much better than the old NAS did I used before. -- Michael ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

OK - you have convinced me. But what is your opinion on using it as a LMS and it's databases?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
To concur TC on the Pi would be extremely slow with Ethernet, more like 4 MB/s rather than 30 MB/s. Wifi is worse of course. This throughput makes it inadequate for full backups and just acceptable for deltas. Which means you should use HFS+ or another FS natively supported on the Mac for the USB drive, so that you can directly connect it to the Mac as a local volume for initial backup or for bare-metal reinstall.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
Raspberry Pi also makes a mediocre file server. Network and storage both run over the same USB2 30MB/s bus and the CPU can't even saturate that if you want to encrypt either stream so performance for secure cifs would be tolerable for small files only (such as music!). -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
Can I configure an piCorePlayer to function as a TimeCapsule for Macs (TimeMachine drive)? Don't use pCP if you want a general purpose system. pCP imho was designed with a simple goal: to create a SB player, quickly set up, robust. Part of the "robust" claim is that it should not write to the filesystem. TC would be write only (mostly). It doesn't belong in a music player. -- Michael ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer as time machine drive?
This is an unusual questions in a squeezebox forum - but I am curious: As my piCorePlayer functions as a LMS and runs anyway 24/7, I was thinking: Can I configure an piCorePlayer to function as a TimeCapsule for Macs (TimeMachine drive)? There are numerous articles available how I can do this on a pi using Raspbian et al (e.g. http://projects-raspberry.com/how-to-hack-an-apple-time-capsule-with-a-raspberry-pi/ ), but can I do this with piCorePlayer as well? It would be very tempting to be able to. First and most important would be to be able to install netatalk - is this possible? Any suggestions?
