What rsync command do you use by the way, so that FIDS dont have to get deleted and replaced everytime?


Moving your tunes to the linux box will cause yet another full rsync transfer,
unless you're in for some hacking. But after that, fid numbers will remain
persistent and rsync will be efficient.

For full transfers, it will be much faster to just delete the current fids
on the player, as having rsync compare them all will slow things down
seriously.

Also is there anyway to make a script so that my empeg is being pinged while the rsync command is running thats the only way my box seems to do it without the serial cable hooked up?


I use telnetd without having to ping. I do use "ifconfig lo up" in my rsync script
on the player. Maybe this helps too.
