18:28 <wonderworld> hey, did someone manage to boot libreelec 9 with tftp over the network? i am stuck mounting storage and would need some help.

18:29 <|Jeroen|> think you just need to use nfsroot on most controllers

18:30 <wonderworld> |Jeroen|: i manage to boot the kernel, but booting stops with: Error in mount_flash: mount_part Unknown Filesystem

18:30 <wonderworld> i asume this is the moment the kernel tries to mount /storage, but i am unsure

18:31 <|Jeroen|> well haven't tried netbooting in a while, i used to do it, but had a lot of probs with it

18:32 <|Jeroen|> kodi uses sqlite db's wich don't work properly on nfs

18:32 <wonderworld> hehe yes. took me 2 hours to make it boot at least a bit :)

18:32 <|Jeroen|> so i kinde gave up on it

18:32 <|Jeroen|> pitty kodi doesn't have an option to put all data in mysql instead of just the library

18:33 <wonderworld> would kodi start without /storage?

18:33 <wonderworld> if yes, i guess i have another problem

18:33 <wonderworld> because it stops during the kernel booting process

18:35 <|Jeroen|> you could just make /storage on the root

18:41 <oblikoamorale> netboot works, /storage is required. got no problems with storage over nfs3 here

18:52 <|Jeroen|> don't your db's get corrupt oblikoamorale ?

19:39 <vpeter> Why would it.

19:40 <|Jeroen|> its a know problem with sqlite

19:41 <vpeter> Link?

19:41 <vpeter> I'm sure there are bunch of users with netbooting and without a problem.

19:44 <|Jeroen|> https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

19:44 <|Jeroen|> SQLite depends on the underlying filesystem to do locking as the documentation says it will. But some filesystems contain bugs in their locking logic such that the locks do not always behave as advertised. This is especially true of network filesystems and NFS in particular. If SQLite is used on a filesystem where the locking primitives contain bugs, and if two or more threads or processes try to access the same database at the same time,

19:44 <|Jeroen|> then database corruption might result.

19:45 <|Jeroen|> yeah i also used it quite successfull for some years

19:45 <|Jeroen|> but since libreelec i gave up after quite some corrupted configs

19:46 <|Jeroen|> maby it depends on nfs versions

19:48 <|Jeroen|> and i guess netboot with samba isn't supported yet

20:05 <vpeter> I didn't noticed any corruption. But I'm not heavy user.

20:23 <|Jeroen|> well my vote is to put a descent abstract db layer in kodi, so we can use mysql of postresql for all data

20:59 <GNU\colossus> ugh. database abstraction leads to the LCD of all supported engines' features being used, and N-1 supported systems being supported worse than "the unofficially chosen one" implementation.

21:01 <|Jeroen|> well library already has mysql support so

21:21 <lacrimosa> can't access samba shares on my freshly clean-installed libreelec 9.0.0 on my raspi3

21:22 <lacrimosa> the shares are on my windows PC

21:22 <lacrimosa> I can access the device via putty, if helpful

21:23 <lacrimosa> if I add new sources, I put in \\IP\Folder name\

21:23 <lacrimosa> and "Folder name" is of course shared in Windows

21:23 <lacrimosa> so it should work, but it doesn't O.o

21:27 <lacrimosa> any ideas how to get access from raspi3 with libreelec9 to my movie folders?

21:28 <lacrimosa> does W7 support SMB2?

21:36 <lacrimosa> that's really strange: if I try to browse to my folders via samba from libreelec and I chose "Windows network (SMB)" it shows MYGROUP and WORKGROUP

21:37 <lacrimosa> if I click on MYGROUP a popup appears which has "error" in the top line and in text it has "success" or "File exists"

21:37 <lacrimosa> strange
