Caveats
  • 1. This will remount your /drive0 as read/write automatically for a few minutes every time you start it. It has to in order to update it's database. On my empeg with 62 gigs of music this takes about 5 minutes with the player running. Do not unplug your empeg until it shows up under iTunes or you risk file system corruption and will have to do an fsck the next time you want to load music. It will go back to read only when it is complete.


It would be really cool if mt-daapd had a --readonly flag which would not scan for new files and not update any data on the harddrive, just take its database as gospel. That way it would start up faster and I could still unplug the empeg without a second thought.

I only really sync my 'peg every few weeks and its not too much hassle to run it manually to regenerate its database when I do.
