Hello and Happy New Year,
I've searched the forum and the internet in general, to no avail, please correct me if you know of such a source.
I have a player (Home Built Box with PSU, Pi, HiFi Berry Amp, Speakers and USB Music Library)
It normally lives as a player on my home network (wifi/wired, along with 3 other similar devices).
Occasionally I take this box out / on holiday
Given this, I have a separate card with a configuration to include running LMS and using the WiFi dongle as a WAP
(once the WAP is running, it objects to reversion, for some reason)
However it is not the easiest sytem to change cards on, so I've been looking at BerryBoot
This allows you to build a disk image, use mksquashfs to compress it and store it (and a few more) to load at boot time
You can then mount the \boot partition from your default (or current) operating system and change the default (once or permanently) using SSH
All sounding pretty neat so far.
The only issues I can can think of as 'brown and smelly' are the database and cache files (plus any others) that need to be written to when the library gets re-scanned or just in normal operation.
Does anyone know where these files exist ? How they could be moved to another (writtable) partition or if I should just invest in a microSD card extender cable and swap cards that way ? or persue disabling the WAP more cleanly ?
Thanks in advance
Mutt
