+--- Thread: [SOLVED] USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used (/showthread.php?tid=5830)
RE: USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used - Girafenaine - 09-25-2023
Hello,
The same tracks that cannot be played by moode on my raspberry, I can play them when the usb drive is plugged in my laptop, on vlc player.
I don’t think there is some errors in the file system. It’s rather an issue with mpd database or way to access the files. But I can’t figure out what a backup could have changed in this database, on tracks that were played before this update.
I will try the test @Tim Curtis suggested above.
RE: USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used - Girafenaine - 09-25-2023
I checked for the "UTF8" pref, it was off.
I turned it on and regenerate the library, It worked with no error. The library is full.
However moode is not able to play any track.
My moode install may be wrong. May a forced shutdown cause such strange behaviour, with moode not able to play, or even no library displayed just after you regenerate ?

Try regenerating the Library with UTF8 pref turned off.

@Girafenaine
Zip up a few of your files that don't play, upload the ZIP file to an accessible location in the cloud, and send a link to Tim, Al, and me via a private message in this forum. One or more of us will have a look at possible oddities.
Regards,
Kent

Hello @Tim, hello @TheOldPresbyote,
Thank you very much for your help, that’s nice.
I fear the files are not part of the issue, as I can read them with vlc. Actually my moode raspi is now quite unusable. The UI is down…
![[Image: quickshot-230926-231408.png]](https://i.ibb.co/L9vV6VV/quickshot-230926-231408.png)
The startup seems to be OK in the log. When I try to regenerate the library (with or without UTF8 option), the process met success officially, but with error about «mpd connection failed». And then the UI is the same as above and I cannot do anything, Here is moode log :

Hello,
I re-installed moode again on my raspi, and now my moode player work (with the same ntfs partition on the same usb drive).
So it seems that the issue I met was not caused by the usb drive and the ntfs partition. Probably some corrupted database or OS (after a hard shutdown ?).
I have had such an issue (non responsive moode system that cannot read music anymore) from time to time, about every year… and I end up with re-installation. And it is a pain… (I never could pre-set wifi network so I have to enter access point mode first. And I never could restore a moode backup, neither settings nor radio, camilla DSP settings and files… so I have to setup the whole thing).

An alternative way of backing up your system would be to simply use dd (for example) to make a copy of the whole SD card. I do this as I don't have much success with moOde backups either!

Now, once you are finished with setting everything up, do a backup and save the file for future use.
Furthermore, since the new installation requires that you create a username + password using the Raspberry Imager, there is the possibility to also setup a wireless network, so that at the first boot moOde is visible in your LAN without the need of starting the AP first.
The installation guide is your friend.
P.S.
It's weird you have to reinstall moOde about once a year... you do not regularly shut it down by just removing the power cord, do you?

Not the OP but perhaps you know the answer to my question. I have two moOde installs, on a Pi 4 and a Pi Zero W. I can't have shut either of them down via a ssh command or menu option more a handful of times; I use them both daily and also just "pull the plug" and have never had corruption. But I've recently started playing with the Pi game emulation "distro" Batocera and I noticed that if I do an rsync to the sd card, interrupt it and then restart it it always starts from the beginning, as opposed to moOde and every other linux distro I've used where rsync just seamlessly continues every time without fail. I wonder if it's because Batocera is set to always write and flush data to the device immediately and that if you interrupt it it just deletes the temp file and flushes that too. If this is some way linux (well, the file system) can be set up, and if you're concerned that this might potentially cause corruption to moOde if you're unlucky, perhaps moOde could be configured the same way?
RE: USB drive mount with root as owner, cannot be used - Nutul - 10-17-2023
@Sehnsucht
I was referring to the possibility the SD card gets damaged, after numerous power-cuts, rendering some reads or writes to it critical to the point that the unit freezes / becomes unresponsive.
Moode per-se does not continuously write to the FS (logs apart...) so that corrupting them is not an issue, but again...
There was a thread some time ago of a guy wanting to mount moOde read-only in a (sort of?) ram-fs, so that pulling the plug did never corrupt the SD card; but it has received tons of answers that brutally powering off moOde never resulted in problems. Apparently it is no so for everybody...
