Hi Joline

Thank you or your suggestion, I followed it and it is better, but I still have 
some issues.
I also added the path /var/cache   in the minidlna config file where you define 
the path for the database - is that correct?

But anyway, when I reboot minidlna does not start, I have to write "minidlna -R" 
then it starts and it is serving the files fine even still in read-only mode.

I have therefore made a script that is executed after reboot.
It sleeps for 5 sec then fires the command minidlna -R - and now it is OK.

Thanks
Steen
