Valid point IMO, though I have always been assuming Piero is taking care of that part. System details Link to comment

A version with NUMA enabled (necessary for HQPlayer CUDA acceleration) can be found here Hi Piero @hifi25nl, How is the above kernel different than the numa disabled kernel released yesterday? Thanks, Larry Pareto Audio aka nuckleheadaudio Link to comment
hifi25nl Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This is version .31 with some mainline fixes that can be found on the standard kernel documentation The realtime patch is rt18, that probably is better than rt16... Difference for audio? I don't think so. AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

Dev Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I am running the new kernel with extreme2 with numa disabled. I think I like it a bit more than the standard. It has a bit more air around vocals and instruments than the standard. lmitche 1 Link to comment
BigAlMc Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi @hifi25nl, Piero - firstly kudos on the ongoing improvements and pace of adding stuff to AL. I downloaded the latest kernel and I'd recently added both the asound.conf settings and the blacklist.conf setting. All of these are contributing to a very, very nice sound. Great work! I'm struggling with something though and wondered if you can help. I recently removed the SSD from my NUC Server and put the music onto an external SD card reader/hub. I've been able to mount it both using your mount local drive utility and also using the command line prompt: mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SR2/ However, it does not persist and after a reboot I need to mount is again. [And yes, I mounted it in non-RAM boot mode each time]. When I look at fstab, I see the following entry: #/dev/sdb1 /media/SR2 exfat defaults 0 0 I'm thinking it's missing the UUID and that's why it's not automounting after a reboot? I see the UUID as: UUID="9C33-6BBD" So how do I configure the fstab entry to automount? I'm thinking it should be: #/dev/sdb1 UUID=9C33-6BBD /media/SR2 exfat defaults 0 0 But given previous issues where I've made it unbootable by screwing up the fstab I wanted to check first.

LTG2010 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 14 minutes ago, BigAlMc said: Brilliant! Thanks, Alan I might be wrong let me check again Edit it should begin with UUID= When you use Pieros mount script check the Fstab there should be an entry without the hashtag UUID= ? Can you post that? It should read something like UUID=Disk..... replace the ''Disk'' part with the correct UUID Link to comment
hifi25nl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The script does not support exfat. Why? Because I discourage the use of fat32, exfat etc. The line in /etc/fstab should be UUID=... /media/SR2 exfat nofail,noatime,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,forceuid,forcegid 0 0 (replace ... with the UUID given by the command blkid) To be sure, also give to the folder SR2 large permissions: chmod 777 /media/SR2 BigAlMc 1 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

Appreciate it. Out of interest is there a benefit to reformating the SD card to say NTFS or suchlike?

hifi25nl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yes, in case of crash fat32 is a problem. Ideal is ext4. BigAlMc 1 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

But that raises the question of given the SD drive is always connected is it possible to move the Audiolinux boot image / partition or whatever to the SD card to avoid having to mess around inserting and removing the USB stick? I'm thinking this is not possible but can't recall why.

hifi25nl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 What is the difference? Removing USB stick or removing the SD card is the same. AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

The SD card is always attached as the music library is on it. I added a 512GB SD card, a Lexar SR2 card reader and a Lexar hub. The hub is separately powered by an Uptone LPS-1. Hence wondering if putting the AL boot image there makes sense. Would still want to ramroot tho.

Cool. Thanks will look into it and perhaps give it a go.

Suspect you would have to use Rufus to image the SDXC card, then adjust remaining partition space to full size for music storage. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
hifi25nl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If you boot with a USB audiolinux stick and use the clone option you can choose to use 100% space, or only a part of it. The remaining part will be formatted as another partition with label "Music" automatically. davide256 1 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

If one does this and later on wishes to install a new version of AudioLinux, what would be the best way to install to the first two partitions and leave the “Music” partition intact? Thanks!

hifi25nl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 You can update most from inside. A new installation will delete all drive content. If you have some expertise in linux you could however use rsysnc to sync the new installation partitions to the old drive. ronfint 1 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment
