[Voyage-linux] MPD database and WAV files

[Walter Lowes]

I am new to VoyageMPD and attempting to sort out anomolies with DB.
I use WAV files ripped with EAC on a WDLivebook NAS. I have mounted the NAS
with CIFS and have mpd.conf pointed to the NAS for most of its files.
music_directory	         "/music1/Music"
playlist_directory        "/music1/MPD/Playlists"
db_file			"/music1/MPD/mpd.db"
log_file			"/music1/MPD/mpd.log"
pid_file			"/music1/MPD/mpd.pid"
state_file		"/music1/MPD/mpdstate"

root at voyage:/music1/MPD# ls -l
total 1984
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root       0 Apr 13  2012 Playlists
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root    6984 Apr 13  2012 bkmpd.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root    6984 Apr 11  2012 mpd.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1873479 Apr 14  2012 mpd.log
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root       5 Apr 16  2012 mpd.pid
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root    2180 Jan  2 11:06 mpdstate
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root       0 Apr 11  2012 sticker.sql
root at voyage:/music1/MPD#


I can see the music_directory in GMPC.  After booting up, MPD searches the
directory for about 5 mins and then the directory structure displays
correctly and the WAV files can be played. (sound is excellent).

2 strange anomolies.  

First, MPD only sees about 75% of the WAV files.  In some cases 100% of
files will show, in others every other file is missing even thought it is on
the NAS.

Second issues is the db_file never updates. It still contains the list of
songs that were on the usb stick I first put in the ALIX to test sound. 
When I removed the USB stick and set MPD to use /music/Music, 
It refused to update the Tag_cache file.  I pointed MPD db_file my NAS
directory it would not create a new db.  So I copied the tag_cache file to
mpd.db on the NAS.  It still does not update the file.  When I first boot
VoyageMPD the MPD client sees the old mpd.db file contents.  It thinks there
is still the usb stick exactly as I used it that first time.  After running
an update that takes 5 mins, it sees the directory of the /music/Music
directory.

Any ideas on what I would need to do to get MPD to update the db_file?

Any ideas why MPD only sees a subset of the files on my NAS? 

The NAS is formated with NTFS.  Some have suggested Linux prefers FAT32.  I
know there are
