Many thanks for this information. I started writing a Python script to
tidy up the tags: Simple job iwht FLAC and OGG. Getting ID3 for MP3
right is somewhat more challenging.
You know there are tools to do this? :-)
I had some issues with NFS in the past where scanning became painfully
slow. However, based on some strace observations I think that was an NFS
issue and had nothing to do with LMS. In order to compare things, I spun
up a second Squeezebox server VM using iSCSI as storage backend. When
connecting to the new node, I notice that my music folder during the
currently running initial scan still shows as 'Empty' in the Web UI.
What do you refer to as the "music folder"?
Maybe you should start by describing what problem you're trying to
solve, what OS you're using etc. Jumping right to VMs, iSCSI, clustering
etc. sounds impressive, but probably just a bit over-engineered...
securitySecret: ...
server_uuid: ...
Is there any harm in having those identical on both machines when all
playeres only ever connect via the VIP? Or is LMS doing any network
discoveries for other servers that could be screwed up this way?
Yes, don't share the UUID across systems unless you know 100% for sure
that they'll never run in parallel.
The idea of having two cluster nodes is that the passive one can do the
scanning, thus avoiding the empty folder issue on the players during the
The scanner can be executed 100% independently. No need to run LMS in
order to launch the scan. In the end the scanner is just another process
spawned by LMS. Check what parameters it's using and run it manually.
