Confusion about /storage/files/music/flac and /storage/music/flac

[excaliburst]

I have read this FAQ about the folder structure on the VB.


http://vortexbox.org/documenta.....vortexbox/


But I am very confused.


I have mounted a 1TB disk at /storage/music


And another at /storage/backup. Thats all fine and working. But has this changed my definitions of the above folder structure and should I still adhere to the guidelines in the FAQ.


Or must I now administer my own folder structure (that could render my music collection insecure)?


On my system I don't see the actual shared folder /storage/files. Where does it reside? I can see it from the shared drives in my Explorer. So things are as advertized in the FAQ. But I need to follow this great tip on copying my 500GB worth of files from old disk to newdisk.


http://stupidunixlinuxtricks.b.....-copy.html


Which directories need I indicate in my command. I have done it this way but that does not seem to be OK.


I cp down into my old music dir and there do this command:


[vortexbox.localdomain Musik]# find . -depth -print | cpio -pdm /storage/files/music


By the way. To my knowledge this is by far the fastest way of copying large amounts of data (music) around on the VB.


Thanks

Oops I was a little too quick there it seems. I liked the fast way it copied the content. But it apparantly uses the /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root partition as temporary space. And as I ran out of that partition during copy operation I am now stuck with a motherload of unusable data on this partition.


Apparantly the above command has now filled my root drive. So output of df -h is:


[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
54G 54G 0 100% /
/dev/sda2 194M 14M 170M 8% /boot
tmpfs 234M 0 234M 0% /dev/shm

As you can see the partition /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root is at 100% full. So I cannot operate the system as normal.


How do I delete all the data that filled up my /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root??????


There must be a find command that searches out and destroys data written on this partition within a certain time-window.


PS. I don't know wheter this is related but I can no longer mount my disks the way I used to. I get this error:


[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /storage/music
mount: unknown filesystem type 'mdraid'
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# mount /dev/sdc3 /storage/backup
mount: you must specify the filesystem type


This has never happened before.


Please anyone. Help...

The folders storage/files/music does not exist , it only exists as the title of the samba/network share i.e vortexbox/files/music.The other titled network shares i.e vortex/music have read write protection.




The mount of /dev/sdb1 failed as you didn't specify the filesystem for the mounted drive i.e ntfs.
