If your 2nd disk contains the same stuff as the main stick, the easier thing to do to revive the main is to dd from the 2nd disk to the main one. Maybe I'm running fsck wrong. The original (main) stick is /dev/sdb and there are /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 I am running fsck /dev/sdb2 Here's a screenshot: Intel NUC NUC8i7BEH Roon Server running Audio Linux in RAM -> Sonore UltraRendu (Roon Endpoint) -> Uptone ISO Regen -> Singxer SU-1 KTE -> Holo Audio Spring Level 3 DAC -> Nord One UP Monoblocks -> Spendor LS3/5as | Music controlled via iPad (Power Conditioning: Audience adeptResponse aR12).

Popular Post hifi25nl Posted January 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 New menu version 087 will introduce the option "isolated CPU cores". You can divide CPU cores in 2 sets: one for system process one for audio applications. This is the first step toward a complete separation of audio process from all the other. The new script will change systemd audio service in a different version starting the application only in selected CPU cores: the service is renamed with the suffix "2" In the Status menu you can check that all the threads are now running in the specified core(s) Dutch, tapatrick, Crom and 4 others 2 5 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

Have you discovered that doing this provides an increase in sound quality? Do you think that this would be effective on an endpoint that has just two cores? Is this only for actual cores or would it include hyper-threading also where 4 cores effectively show as 8? "Don't Believe Everything You Think" System Link to comment
Popular Post hifi25nl Posted January 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 The script will disable hyper-threading after reboot with a kernel parameter. Yes it could work on 2 physical cores. It has been a long work, I have tested many ways to implement this. At last i have preferred a custom method more compatible with linux systemd services and audiolinux menu system. I am waiting for the results of user experimentation. I must find the time to listen myself... If you convert from PCM to DSD with hqplayer, I would isolate many cores, but for endpoint this is not necessary if the CPU is powerful enough. tapatrick and Monge 2 AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment

Sometimes I have had your issue and I have resolved it by simply going back into the BIOS and reselecting my USB stick as the primary boot device...it seems that sometimes if you go into the BIOS and make changes and then save them without your boot USB stick then the BIOS seems to automatically change your boot settings...

When I restart with the original usb stick (the one containing my Roon DB) in BIOS it does not show the USB stick. Something is amiss with it.

Middy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just to add to the oddness, i had two copys of headless tried for ages fiddling with bios.. didnt boot. A copy of the original DL worked ??? On the same USB I burned the original DL file 3 times, the copy got picked up first time. The server original failed, its copy worked. How the original failed ??? Copy was a minute later. Can you easily check the checksum? If a file is corrupted do the checksums count match? Just wondering... Link to comment

Bricki Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Ok I have divided the CPU in my sonicTransporter i5 into 2 sets using the new menu function...after reboot, I can see that I have 1 core in each set and Audiolinux is running as normal but when I select the menu option to enable roon server nothing happens and roon server won't run 🤔.... I have disabled the CPU core separation function and rebooted and roon server can now load as normal.. Has anyone else got the new function to work with roon server running? Link to comment
hifi25nl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Try this: 1) Enable isolated CPU cores 2) Reboot 3) Start roonserver in configuration menu. 4) If this stays forever on "Please wait..." type Control+C to exit menu 5) Type menu 6) Enable roonserver. You should see now roonserver2 in the final screen. Is this working? AudioLinux --> https://www.audio-linux.com developer of AudioLinux realtime OS Link to comment
hifi25nl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 However, if you wait a pair of minutes... roonserver will start. This is happening sometime with the first service started.

There are dozens of ways to do this. Yes, any partition you don't copy from the AL image needs to be formatted. I'm on my phone on vacation at fhe moment.

I've been gone the past few days myself so I haven't had a chance to do anything with it, other than install the Optane stick into the NUC. If anyone else can offer any help, I'd really appreciate it. By the way, I'm going to use the whole 32GB for Roon, so I will not need a separate partition for Roon and AL (unless there's some reason I will need to have it formatted that way). Thanks!

There was a bug in the 0.9 version (missing file) that Piero fixed. Anyway, this is not that hard. You can just do it manually. You want to have the following files in /etc/systemd/network: bridge0.netdev bridge0.network enp0s31f6.network enp0s20f0u4.network Contents of the files are: bridge0.netdev [NetDev] Name=bridge0 Kind=bridge bridge0.network [Match] Name=bridge0 [Network] DHCP=yes enp0s31f6.network [Match] Name=enp0s31f6 [Network] Bridge=bridge0 enp0s20f0u4.network [Match] Name=enp0s20f0u4 [Network] Bridge=bridge0 As root, edit/create the above files as root, then run: systemctl restart systemd-networkd My Audio Setup Link to comment
