I have ROCK running on a Proxmoxserver and that’s running like a charm.
But I encounter a lot of other Proxmox problems (I’m really too dumb for Proxmox) so I’m thinking of running Roon Rock just on my Asus NUC 14.
Question: Will I lose the data on my music disc and have to copy all my music all over again?
Or can I install ROCK and will it recognize the music disk after installation (as it was already formatted by ROCK)?
If the disk is not the OS disk and it was formatted by ROCK it “should” recognize the disk and not need to be reformatted. You should be able to install ROCK and then restore your DB (make sure you have a good DB backup before starting) and be good to go.
I would make sure you have a backup of your music files just in case, though.
Thanx! That I was hoping for. Fingers crossed!
Unfortunetly it appears not to work that way. Roon Rock didn’t recognised my Music ssd and I had to re-format it. So now I can transfer 3 TB of music with a networkspeed of 20MB/s again!
Why oh why did they make Roon so userunfriendly!
Had you been running ROCK, then reinstalling ROCK would not have been an issue as @bearFNF said.
Your scenario was apparently not this, so you were in uncharted waters, and not something that Roon Labs would have taken into account.
Well that sucks. It must be the “promoxserver” part that messed things up. How were you running ROCK on another server? In a VM? I am not familiar with Proxmoxserver so was wondering if maybe you it formatted the drive instead of ROCK or maybe there was a “man in the middle” handling the communications?
Now that you have a true ROCK install and if you have a linux box you might be able to remove the drive and mount it on the Linux box (or software to read ext4 formatted disks) to transfer the files (assuming the files are on the linux box, it would speed things up?). If that helps?
This seems strange to me. What format was your music SSD formatted in?
If it was seen by a ROCK installation before, I don’t understand why it wasn’t seen again.
Is it a format issue or maybe something to do with the file path?
I think if you want ROCK to recognise your music the music folder has to be located at the top of the file path (if that’s the correct terminology).
The storage was an intern nvme pci express ssd just for music, formatted by Roon Rock. After reinstalling Rock on the NuC (without Proxmox) Rock didn’t recognized the data ssd and I had to format the drive again. And this transfer all my music again.
In the mean time I bought myself another Nuc for dual boot system windows and Debian.
I have to swap the 2242 ssd’s cause Rock uses a 1 TB for just Rock. I bought a new 256 GB 2242 ssd so I can use the 1 TB in my new pc.
You guys say it must be possible to do so without reformatting the music drive. What I did the last time is take the music drive out, install Rock, and put the music drive back in. Rock would not recognize it. So now I’m leaving it in. Maybe Roon recognizes the drive and after a restore of a backup all is good.
I’ll keep you guys posted.
Okay. You had just keep the music drive in the Nuc while reinstalling Rock. Than restore back-up. Took me now 15 minutes to swap disks. Had I knew that earlier…
