Two disk system .flac usb-HD and boot/system -ideHD

[thomas]

This might be trivial, but fore some reason I have no success adding my .flac collection to my new vortexbox setup.




I got a 40Gbyte IDE boot/system disk and a 1.5 Tbyte SATA in usb dock.


The motherboard has no SATAinterface, and I like the fact that data is portable (USB-dock)




I'm dreaming of some GUI with default mounting the USBdrive to the /storage/music/ , and thereby using this "old" disk as data disk - and the bootdisk as such.


I have heard that, mounting-stuf, is i a standard procedure in graphical (non-server) versions of linux, but a non standard procedure in non-server setup.


On the other hand, I see that the GUI-backup, mounts the disk, but it seems to lack the feature I desire.




Is there some setting that might solve this problem?




Best regards




Thomas

Have a look at this

It should help add your USB Drive as a device loaded at boot.


Just amke sure its always availalble.

Mount your USB drive at /storage to use it for your music library.


To do this automatically at boot time, add the following line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1 /storage ntfs auto,noatime,user 0 0

This assumes your USB drive is formatted with an NTFS file system.


By default, VortexBox will rip new CDs and place the FLAC files in /storage/music/flac.


The default is to place all albums in this directory, as opposed to having separate directories for each artist.


If you want albums to be stored in separate directories for each artist, edit /etc/ripit/config and change the line



dirtemplate="$suffix/$artist - $album"



to

dirtemplate="$suffix/$artist/$album"

Then stop and restart the Autoripper by





service vortexbox stop


service vortexbox start


and newly ripped CDs will be stored in separate directories for each artist.
