Roon Core Machine
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-Core Processor - 4.00 GHz - 24GB
Running Ubuntu 20.4 LTS
Remote: Huawei Mediapad M5, running Android 8
Number of Tracks in Library
162,000 tracks
Description of Issue
I have been less than satisfied with performance of Roon for quite a while: remote is hanging very often (many times per evening) for no obvious reason. Resetting tablet and server seems to work, but the next day things start all over again. Reading the install notes I saw that for databases larger than 100K tracks, Windows is recommended. Apparently I didnât read this a few years ago when I first started! I would like to give this a try (I found a pretty straightforward âmigration guideâ), but I am hesitant about which file system to use. In Ubuntu I have two Ext4 formatted 4TB harddisks containing the 162K tracks. My PC can also boot to Windows 10 Pro and in order to be able to read and write to these Ext4 disks, too, I installed Paragon extFS. On the rare occasions I need to do this, it seems to work fine. Do you think I could install Roon on my Windows partition and use these two Ext4 drives as they are? Or would I need to make a copy on NTFS or exFat formatted discs and use the copy instead?
Hope to hear from you soon and kindest regards,
Marcel
