[Voyage-linux] Problem creating database on alix

[Gianluca Bonalumi]

Hi kim, I'm struggling to find a solution to the database creation problem,
I've cutted down to the fact that it seems to be a memory leak problem,
I've tried 2 more pc's other than the Alix, one with 1Gb of ram and the
other with 6Gb (voyage uses only 2,5Gb) and noted that when launching the
database update, looking at memory with the top command, it starts to eat
memory at a rate of 5Kib a second more or less. The Alix hangs only after 1
or 2 minutes from start of the update, the PC with 1Gb works for 8-10
minutes at least and the one with 2,5Gb works for half an hour, but for all
3 when the memory is very low the result is the same, mpd hangs. I've tried
to reinstall all (0.9.2), and also with differents USB key, tried to
eliminate the buffer in mpd.conf but any try was with no luck...I'm really
down, I like so much the combination of Alix and mpd and since bought it
from you, it has worked for more than a year with no problem at all (apart
from occasional WaveIO problems on startup...). I've also tried mpdpup that
has mpd version 17.0 or 17.2, don't remember well, but got the same problem.

Please, have you got any clue? I've also resetted completely the router,
changed NAS, PSU, tried with and without WaveIO connected but no way.

Thanks in advance for your support, Best Regards.
