When I tried to start up mt-daapd it just said “File size limit exceeded” and wouldn’t start. However, a few minutes ago I discovered that this error was talking about my mt-daapd.log (optional setting in mt-daapd.conf), that had grown above 2GB. It appears that mt-daapd won’t start if the log file is larger than 2GB.

Maybe this is a feature rather than a bug though, in my case the log file would have kept growing until my root partition was all used up. My logfile had grown very fast becaus of my debuglevel setting, that was set to 9.

Maybe this error should say “Logfile size limit exceeded” rather than “File size limit exceeded”. That would make it easier to understand, I believe. ๐Ÿ˜€ I use svn-1668 by the way.

Anyway, Thanks for a great piece of software, I use it daily. ๐Ÿ™‚

The real fix is 64 bit file support. I need to find a >2G *something* to test with, though.

Maybe I should just grow my logs to 2G like you did. ๐Ÿ™‚
