[Voyage-linux] Problems getting MPD to work on Alix Board

[Johan Coenen]

Hello,

I wouldn't put the log file and the pid file on the nfs mount.
Better to put these files on the local filesystem.
You could take the default values /var/run/mpd/pid and /var/log/mpd/mpd.log,
start mpd again, and look for any errors in the log file.
