No one would even want to listen to some of those 10 years of music, because much of it to me is plain rubbish: Greetings from Hansi Hinterseer, Vengaboys, or the God botherers from Hillsong, for instance. But who am I to decide here? Maybe one of my friends has an affection for Vengaboys, so I keep this. And it's quite a lifting feeing to come home, after having heard some nice song out and about, just to find that there's already a choice of versions of that song in the collection :cool: Last but not least there are numerous technical learnings from this: I had very little clue about almost all the technical aspects associated with digital audio when I started out burning CD-Rs some 24 years ago. And on Linux many professional tools free: virtualization with KVM, clustering with Pacemaker, or load balancing with haproxy, so why settle for less? d6jg wrote: > The scan time for ~ 1 million tracks is going to be a lot of hours no > matter what you do. > If it were 100,000 tracks it would still represent about a year of > continuous listening but crucially youd get the scan time down to > perhaps 1 hour. Sure, I'm aware of that and won't mind having the initial scan running for roughly two, three days as long as I see some steady progress. I encountered some ugly issues with NFS before where an initial scan would suddenly slow down at ~420k tracks and then easily run on like that for several weeks. Looking at the iSCSI setup now I think it's safe to say that NFS was the culprit here ...or the poisonous mixture of Kerberos, NFS4, GSS and SELinux.
