<application>MPD</application> runs well on weak machines such

as the <ulink url="http://www.raspberrypi.org/">Raspberry

Pi</ulink>. However, such hardware tends to not have storage

big enough to hold a music collection. Mounting music from a

file server can be very slow, especially when updating the

One approach for optimization is running
|
||||||
|
<application>MPD</application> on the file server, which not
|
||||||
|
only exports raw files, but also provides access to a readily
|
||||||
|
scanned database. Example configuration:

The <link

linkend="config_music_directory"><varname>music_directory</varname></link>
|
||||||
|
setting tells <application>MPD</application> to read files
|

|
from the given NFS server. It does this by connecting to the
|

|
server from userspace. This does not actually mount the file

||||||
|
server into the kernel's virtual file system, and thus
|
||||||
|
requires no kernel cooperation and no special privileges. It
|
||||||

does not even require a kernel with NFS support, only the
