Hello Geoff_Coupe,
thank you for your information.
I did not know the software Allway Sync yet.
It can read Linux based formatting up to 4 TB and about 40’000 music files correctly?
To change the SSD, please see this thread:
Here you can also find a step by step instruction for the change of the internal SSD to a new bigger SSD.
Unfortunately this step by step instruction is available from Roon Lab
not tested, which is very frightening and also unsettles me,
as there is absolutely no complete and therefore correct information on this topic here in the Roon Community.
Steps for changing the smaler internal Music Drive to an larger new one:
Actual Process Step, Version from Gerald_Schrader 21 May 2019:
-
Backup Roon database.
-
Go to Nucleus log-out page: Log out of Nucleus (Go to Settings, General and click Logout)
-
Shut down Nucleus from Nucleus web admin page
-
Disconnect the Nucleus from the electric power
-
Remove / replace internal storage SSD to an larger one.
-
Connect the Nucleus to the electric power.
-
Power up Nucleus from Nucleus web admin page
-
Go to Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: 1.-stop the server software.
-
From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: format new SSD with nucleus.
-
From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: 2.-stop the server software.
-
Copy music files across the network from the storage backup location (PC) to new internal SSD in
Nucleus.
If asked for a username and password, use «Guest» for both. -
From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: restart server software.
-
Go to Nucleus log-in page: Log in of Nucleus (Go to Settings, General and click Login)
-
restore Roon database
Comment: Those instructions look good, most importantly:
- shut down from the [admin web page 2]
(https://kb.roonlabs.com/Nucleus_Web_Administration_Interface) - physically swap the drive 1
- power up, initialize from the admin webpage 1,
and copy your music over
Thank You for your help.
