radio station infrastructure.
...ppropriate items to ices at the appropriate time. My question is, has anyone done this already? It would be great to have a nice web-based interface through which to manage our station(s) but if possible I'd like to avoid writing one :). Thanks, pt. -------------------- Parker Thompson Data Archivist The Internet Archive

the road to 1.0...
...igured all was well. I burned 5 copies, only to find out 3 days later that halfway through one track, one channel cut out for the remainder of the track. So, two ways that FLAC is far superior to Shorten.. incorporated checksums, and much improved error recovery. I see etree.org users as more of archivists than music fans, since we place so much emphesis on bit-for-bit accuracy. Using a codec that makes this job easier for us is a very welcome thing! If you (or anyone else on this list) can keep track of selling points for FLAC over other current (and future) lossless codecs, I would like to compi...

...ation on contacting the right people, he mentioned you guys and I need a little info. Anything that you guys have as far as how playback of the FLAC standard could be played back via WinAmp or similar programs (someone's gotta be working on this, it's a must-have to help convert us SHN archivists) would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there are any other Macintosh users out there I'd like to hear some ideas about what needs to be included and how we might get this accomplished. Also, I have currently adopted the new MacOS X which is completely Unix-based (Free BSD 4.2 I believe)...

Neuro Net Recordings now provides Ogg Vorbis products
...cto standard being used in www.vorbis.com and other major Ogg Vorbis sites, provides sufficient quality to distribute music on Internet. All NNR products have been converted to Ogg Vorbis format from the former proprietary RealAudio and MP3 formats, free for download. Kenji Rikitake, the Internet Archivist of NNR and also known as an NNR artist known as 'bdx' remarks, "NNR pursues freely-redistributable music since the beginning. While the Internet music distribution is more and more focused to the for-profit activities, we welcome new technologies such as Ogg Vorbis and Icecast, which...

--partial not working?
Hi Kevin, I'm not a systems manager so my apologies if I'm a little lost here. I'm an audiovisual conservator/archivist and I use rsync for transferring files, a lot. Yes, I connect to the server and then it shows up as a disk on my desktop and I run rsync between the external drive mounted on my computer and the now mounted server. So, this would be a local copy? And, therefore, there is no way to invoke --partia...

The VM as a way of saving our digital heritage
...with any old OS and software and be able to boot and interact with it now, or next year or 100 years from now. It is the answer to 'how do we guarantee access to our digitized cultural heritage?' That puts a great burden on the team doing this work. It means you have to guarantee that an archivist in 2110 can take a VM created today and boot it up and run it on their hyper-quantum-bio computer (the one that you could mistake for a real penguin) under Linux version 15.4.32... and still be able to run a Mathematica file from 2005. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think this is a...

@ERROR: auth failed on module -- PROBLEM SOLVED!
...rld readable. It should contain just the password as a single line. I found that a newline is required after the line containing the password, at least in rsync 2.6.2. Without the newline character, I would see this error: [root@sql mail]# rsync -av --password-file=/root/.rsync/secrets-proxy \ archivist@proxy::mailarchive/ /sql/archive/mail @ERROR: auth failed on module mailarchive rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (95 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) Upon adding a newline, the problem went away.

beta release source tarballs
...omeone install at least the tarballs on the main site (under xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/) so they're easy to find. At the time I was looking for something more stable than the current tools to help someone on irc, but in general it's nice to have it around for reference. Appeals to the archivist in me. There's also the issue of the (L)GPL, which requires that the source be made available for at least three years after the binary release. This is why sites like kernel.org have every version that's ever been officially announced. Of course, they're only betas, released by the pr...

--partial not working?
Hi Kevin, I haven't specified --whole-file. After entering an rsync command the terminal always reads "delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file" but I assume that is just a standard phrase that always appears. So, if I am running partial (-P) and not using --whole-file or disabling the delta-transmission, why would an incomplete file be deleted and the

Performance drop during scrub?
Hi all I have a test system with snv134 and 8x2TB drives in RAIDz2 and currently no Zil or L2ARC. I noticed the I/O speed to NFS shares on the testpool drops to something hardly usable while scrubbing the pool. How can I address this? Will adding Zil or L2ARC help? Is it possible to tune down scrub''s priority somehow? Best regards roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (+47) 97542685 roy at

Idea to possibly improve flac?
First of all, I am not aware of any official source of FLAC files that provide MP3 sourced data. I meticulously check the music I purchase, especially when it is 24/48 or 24/96 material, because this is new technology, and sometimes people get it wrong. However, you should be aware that many modern producers use software to create their music, and when the software stores sound clips in

Yager on ZFS
Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented
