b0mb 35 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi! If I go to the Emby backend my drives are often spinning up. Would I prevent drives from spinning up off metadata would be stored in an external park on a SSD? Thx! b0mb Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Considering SSDs don't spin, yeah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0mb 35 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Considering SSDs don't spin, yeah What would be the best way to migrate or update the data. Readding the source? If I change the settings I guess only me scraped data will be stored in the external path. Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just move the data and bind mount it to it's original location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcrdev 251 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) What data? Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Well let's say your original metadata is in /var/lib/emby (this is the default) - you want to move that data to an external drive (the SSD) and that external drive has a mountpoint for example of /external. You would do this: systemctl stop emby-server mv /var/lib/emby /external/ echo "/external/emby /var/lib/emby none defaults,bind 0 0" >> /etc/fstab mount -a systemctl start emby-server In this case your metadata, configuration and artwork would now all be stored on the SSD and Emby would continue to work as normal.

b0mb 35 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 But actually my metadata is stored in the directories or the series and movies.... So I guess I have to scrape everything again.... Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Well yeah if your artwork etc.. is stored in each media folder - then there's no easy way of moving that to another drive without moving the media as well.

b0mb 35 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 So I guess readding the source would bump a new scraping process.... Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 3 mit Tapatalk Yes and no: If the metadata is already in your media folders, then regardless of whether the "store metadata in media folders" option is ticked - Emby will still use what's already there. So you'd have to: Uncheck the above option, Delete library.db from /var/lib/emby Remove all metadata from folders. Run a library scan in Emby.
