Reply To: mt-daapd does not start

hehe no, if the HD thats attached to the slug is ext3 you should be good.

Try and delete the database file.
It should be /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db

you can remove it with

rm -i /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs.db

The option -i will just prompt you to confirm any deletion. So nothing can go wrong this way 😉

Also, disable rescanning completely. A rescan on the slug (hint hint) takes quite a while. So its better to run it at otherwise idle times via a cron job.
Finally, set the debuglevel to zero. Extensive debugging causes a lot of load on the slug and on the disk. Only enable it if you run into a problem again.

Then start firefly and keep your fingers crossed 😉
