Posting this in tinkering. When Roon goes wrong I have a three step reset:
- Stop the RoonServer process:
sudo service roonserver stop. - Clean the contents of the Cache and Temp directories:
rm -rf/var/roon/RoonServer/{Cache,Temp}/*. - Reboot the box:
sudo reboot.
I’ve shortened this without ill effect by forcing the Cache and Temp directories to run in a tmpfs file system. You need to have cleared the directories before adding these lines to /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /var/roon/RoonServer/Temp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/roon/RoonServer/Cache tmpfs defaults 0 0
This just means that the two directories use a memory backed file system and I lose approx 200 MB of memory. I should put a max size on it but haven’t got round to it. It’s not something for 8 GB of memory or less. Now just reboot the box and those directories clean themselves.
