I used to run Squeezecenter on my ReadyNAS, and went through the same thing recently as I had to re-flash my NAS for unrelated reasons and wanted to make sure I didn't have to go through re-tweaking and config again.
I moved my config to an Ubuntu 10.4 LTS VM running on Virtualbox (converted from VMWare). It was originally VMWare because I built it in Workstation and could run VM Ware server on the ReadyNAS. When I updated the ReadyNAS I could only run Virtualbox so I migrated it there so I wouldn't have to run any other machines. I think Virtualbox is a better choice at this point since you don't have to worry about licensing and the vmware free products aren't updated as much. I found the performance of the library over 1GBit/NFS to be as good as native. If you keep the mount points the same you can keep your library anywhere. When I re-flashed I just changed the mount points on the vm and ran the vm on a laptop so I could listen to everything while I was re-building the NAS. I think its the only way to go if you have the knowledge and equipment. You can also grab the virtualbox image of squeezeplug which is already configured. It may be a more optimal solution depending on what plugins and such you need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97296 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
