Win VS. Linux

[djtman 5]

I just have a quick question, are the database structures/folders/files the same on linux as the windows version?  I would like to migrate to a linux server but keep both systems running in sync until I know that my new linux server is stable as I have active external family members using the win server on a regular basis.  I have a utility that will sync the directories between the two but unsure if the structure is the same.  Thank you in advance.

Perhaps @@mediacowboy can give his thoughts, as he's just moved from Windows to Linux.

Sync what directories?

Specifically, I would like the user data (passwords, watch history, etc).  I have the linux/windows boxes looking at the same directories with the content (movies, tv, music) already via shares/mappings, but I know I can't do the media (library.db) since the path's to the content are different between the two os's.

 

Thank you!

Ok we don't officially support doing that. I realize there are a few who may have figured something out, but we're not even testing it and therefore it would be liable to break at any given time.
