Format hdd for raspberry pi samba12/17/2023 ![]() You'll use it briefly for a few minutes and it won't be needed again. ![]() You will also need a spare SD card - the brand and capcaity doesn't matter. You can refer to this list or just try and get hold of the one I have which works fine. This is a little more tricky because you'll need something that will actually work with the Raspberry Pi. The other component you'll need is a USB A to SATA adapter. There are lots to choose from with a range of sizes - choose one that suits your need. The first thing you'll need is an 2.5 inch SSD. In this guide, I'm going to go through the process of quickly switching from SD card to SSD. To fix this for longer, I've opted to use an SSD drive from Crucial which should be able to cope with the strains of my Home Assistant installation. I could pop another SD card in a probably survive another 4-5 months (IO has increased rapidly as I've been adding more device) but it's not a long term solution. It's a known fact that SD cards are not happy when you have lots of constant IO so it's not hugely surprising the card in mine is showing signs of wear. I've been running my Home Assistant installation from a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 128GB SD Card for about 8 months but it appears the SD card is slowly failing - write & read speeds have degraded to such a point that the system barely can function any longer. The tools available for this are excellent and the ecosystem is rich with documentation and addons. I can hear things but I'm using stock sound card so there's a difference between the basement setup (back when fire was a new invention I dumped some serious coins into it) and basic workstation.One of the neatest ways to run Home Assistant is to pop it onto a Raspberry Pi. my workstation is used for other things, I never really set it up to be a real music source. I was going with rune to play thru stereos. the only thing I did was switch away from the window.Īnd yes, vlc does work directly on the mount. I'm failing at step 1 so it's not waiting for items to show up in the library. the process should be to successfully mount the share then parse. I want to see if allowing it to run for hours. I just confirmed these steps, I'm attempting to use the rune in basement since I can let that run without touching anything by accident. I actually will get a message saying done if I watch but of course nothing is mounted. I still see the problems as timing out/something else going on. when I get some time maybe I'll setup another pi (I have a build book so all the steps would be the same) and test it that way. Very good point on testing a small sample. since I have the samba share matted to my windows machine, I can use vlc to open a file on the share but it's just from rune that does not happen for me. I'd have to look at fstab on it to see what I'm declaring the format as but ntfs doesn't sound correct. I'm 99% sure I did NOT format it ntfs when I created the samba share. The only thing I can see where you config may be different is from windows the share says it's formatted ntfs. but even trying to reverse things where I connect to the thumb drive on a rune box via a samba share I'm not sure. it's trying to get rune to read to it I'm having the problems. from multiple windows machines I can connect to the nas, do whatever with the share. the nas is raspberry lite with a drive attached to it. I see network mount flashing, the icon flashing but that's it. so when I select sources, add, select cifs, populate name, ip, etc it never actually connects. Yeah, that's pretty much where I'd like to go. so far, not so much tsawyer Posts: 96 Joined:, 03:02 I know some people have gotten rune to connect to something like synology nas but it should be the same process on a samba nas. so far I have not been able to get rune to connect to the nas I created. ultimately, I'd like to have all the rune boxes connect to a pi running samba to control an attached drive where all the files are centrally managed. ![]() am I approaching this correctly? I know I can ftp to my usb drive but I wanted to see if this worked. normally it would just be net use x: \\\, my question becomes what is the share name? I see I can set perms on /mnt/MPD/SD and /mnt/MPD/USB but what is considered the share name? I did not pull up smb.conf, normally I add and define the share information at the bottom of the file. if I have samba running on rune, I should be able to mount the library as a drive. so thought I'd change it up and connect from my window desktop to rune. I'm still banging my head trying to connect rune to samba share. ![]()
