Issue seeing full capacity when mounting NAS in OSX El Capitan

[markiteight]

If you have multiple disks, you should consider setting up a LVM, this will "join" all your SSD/HDD into one big volume that you can mount under /media/music.

Thank you for that link. I remember seeing LVM as an option while installing Snakeoil but, knowing nothing about it, I left it blank. Based on your recommendation I've enabled it and also remounted the drives as such:


So now when I mount the NAS to my mac it sees the space available under /media/music, which is now the entirety of /dev/sdb1. Based on this result it looks like you're correct about building a single volume that I can mount under /media/music. Problem is I know not how to go about that! My knowledge of Linux is effectively zero...I'm not even sure I understand what you mean with reference to SSH, let alone manipulating things successfully via the command line.

But for now 600GB is enough to let me get a taste of what your software can do. 

I started this response 3 albums ago. 
 

Snakeoil OS uses SMBv1, which is a very old version of Windows sharing. I suspect this is the reason why you're having problems with mounting the share. Can you upgrade to this Filesystems kernel here in this thread and see if it works?

I installed the Filesystems kernel and I was able to mount the NAS to my mac using SMB. Sadly that didn't seem to make a difference. It wasn't until I changed the mount point for one of the drives as above did anything change. Furthermore under the Filesystems kernel the "Audio State" under Music Player would not load, and while my control point (Linn Kazoo) could see music on the NAS it wouldn't play. Switching back to the stock kernel resolved this.

I am unfamiliar with how MacOS handle UNC, in Windows this share path should be "//<NAS_IP_Address>/music", so try cifs://snakeoil_ip/music. Windows share only share the name of the folder, not the full path from root. Thus the music share would be //<NAS_IP_Address>/music, and the playlists share would be //<NAS_IP_Address>/playlists.

For both shares, login in as anonymous (i.e. no user and no password). Let me know how it goes. 

This merely eliminates the additional step of selecting "Music" or "Playlists" from a dialog box and just mounts directly to one or the other. Nothing else changes.

So I've managed to get it working...for the most part. I came into this project with fairly high expectations and I'm still floored by how good it sounds.

But unfortunately there's still a problem. Songs play one-at-a-time and they won't start without a little "nudge." In other words, I can load an album, hit play, and nothing happens. If I slide the progress slider and arbitrary distance and let go, the music plays fine. I can then drag the slider back to the beginning of the song and it'll play through to the end of the track, give me a split second burst of the next track, then stop. I have to go back in and repeat the trick with the slider for every song. As you might imagine, this is a PITA. What could be causing this?
