Daphile - Audiophile Music Server & Player OS

"with firmware 2.21.126 or lower"

vs. WDMyCloud < 2.30.165 - Multiple Vulnerabilities

IMO this whole device is worth extracting the drive inside and building a simple NAS with FreeNAS or linux.

Agreed. I believe the internal drive of the 8tb device is actually a wed red helium drive. You need to be wary of the sata power connector to get it to work. Best to use a molex to sata power adapter.

I've been using a 1st. Gen model for a few years now and it's been mostly decent. It's running the 4.xx firmware so those vulnerabilites are a non-issue. My biggest complaint is it doesn't have NFS OOTB. Apparently NFS can be added through some SSH work, but that's outside my skillset. Setting up for SMB was easy enough in Daphile, but the transfer speeds seem to be lacking compared to Windows. I haven't tried FTP or SSH connections to see if its any quicker.

Folks:

I am poised to add a second SSD to my server. Are there any rules regarding naming conventions for a second local drive? In other words, should it have the same “Identification” name as the first drive, or is there anything else that I need to do to enable both SSDs to work properly together?

Regards,
Scott

Need to give second storage device a distinct name. 1st and 2nd drive will not be seen as one drive unless they are spanned at OS level.
However I think daphile will see it as one library.

Vince:

Thanks, as always. Having made as many mistakes as I have in the past, I'm trying to now operate with an over-abundance of caution.

It's upgrade time!

I couldn't find anything, but I would partition the whole drive as EXT4 as file ID as sdb2, install it in the box and see how it goes.

H,
I am registered to Spotify, 1st time I registered on the Spotify from Daphile it worked quite well, I was able to do music track search and displaced the tracks or albums, no problems there.
After logging off and sign on again I could NOT do any searching. Nothing displayed from the searching function, or what's new. However, I can still play(intermittently stops sometimes) from my playlist that has tracks from Spotify, what's wrong?
Even a restart does not help. Cannot do any searching or displace anything from Spotify.
