[Voyage-linux] MPD corrupting files?

[John Coltrane]

Hi,

as a simple workaround you can mount your external drive readonly, so
nothing can be corrupted, only thru hardware related probs, or by
unclean unmounts from other systems (if your external drive is kind of
shared)
A question is, what filesystem is on your external device ? You would be
well advised to use a native linux filesystem, not a crappy Microsoft
one like FAT or NTFS
