OK The command looks good and is a correct output for rsync, though it looks like it has done nothing What is the format of the external HDD ? You said you have had this connected to a windows PC so I'm assuming its formatted NTFS, have you installed the "Extra filesystems" extension ? Check that the Ext is mounted :- ~$ mount | grep mnt/EXT post the result Check the device appears ~$ ls -la /mnt/EXT post the result Check that the files on the EXT HDD appear Do the same for the source directory *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezeLiteX,PiCorePlayer x3,Wandboard *Server:* LMS Version: Latest Nightly on Centos 7 VM on ESXi 6.5.0U1 on Dell T320 *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud/Spotty/Player Groups *Remotes:* iPeng9/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite/SqueezeLiteX *Music:* 522GB,1660 albums with 23087 songs by 5204 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
