After 30 minute Library update...library is empty!

[Tim Curtis]

It's prolly insufficient permissions on the files and directories on the drive. MPD needs read permission on all the music files and read + execute permission on all the parent directories otherwise it won't find any files.

What format was used on the drive: NTFS, Fat32, ExFat?

Also the log entries below indicate an orphaned auto-mount directory named "Transcend1TB_" under /media.

Code:

20221118 230833 worker: Transcend1TB
20221118 230833 worker: Transcend1TB_

To get rid of it do the following:

1. Unplug all USB drives
2. Delete the orphaned directory

Code:

sudo rmdir /media/Transcend1TB_

The log also shows

20221118 230832 worker: No active network interface

How are you accessing the UI?

OK.....so it's PUTTY to copy the logs......

See the above? the "Transcend1TB" folder was busy when you unplugged the external drive, or something else happened, so it didn't get unmounted AND removed from the FS.
Then, upon reboot and replug of the SSD, the system automatically assigned it a new name, similar, but appending an underscore to it "_".

Now, this happened to me as well in the past. What you need to do is the following (and possibly no need to do it again):

1. enter an SSH session, and enter the following commands:

umount /media/Transcend1TB_ [enter]
(note the underscore in the name above... this unmounts the current disc, you will want to unplug it now)

ls /media -l [enter]
(this should show you only "Transcend1TB", (note there is no underscore, now... but this folder should be EMPTY, verify with:

ls /media/Transcend1TB -l [enter]

then, the following:

rm -rf /media/Transcend1TB [enter]
sync [enter]

Now, plug the SSD, wait a couple of seconds, then you can type again:

ls /media -l

and see there is again a folder named Transcend1TB, but now it is your SSD drive, and listing its contents should now show your music:

drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 <some date and time here> Transcend1TB

note the "pi pi" user and group; it should be not "root root", in the first place, but should do anyway, provided the permissions are ok... like in my example:

drwxr-xr-x

d is directory, then there are three groups of three letters: r, w and x (read, write and traverse flags);
- the first three on the left are for the OWNER of such directory, and are ALWAYS rwx, read-write., traversable
- then, moving to the right, you should see r-x; these are for any user in the group, and usually are r-x (read-only, traversable)
- then, the rightmost three should again be r-x; these are for ANYONE ELSE, and again are r-x.

NOTE: THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING STEPS!
Should something not be like aboves, you can do the following (this is a one-shot, and should never need to do it again):

1. set ownership to user and group "pi": sudo chown pi:pi /media/Transcend1TB
2. set permissions: sudo chmod 0755 /media/Transcend1TB

and check again:

ls /media -l

Now you want to do a library update; everything should get populated now.

Cheers, Al.

P.S.
@Tim Curtis I was writing my response at the same time you were... ;-)

It's prolly insufficient permissions on the files and directories on the drive. MPD needs read permission on all the music files and read + execute permission on all the parent directories otherwise it won't find any files.

What format was used on the drive: NTFS, Fat32, ExFat?

Also the log entries below indicate an orphaned auto-mount directory named "Transcend1TB_" under /media.

Code:

20221118 230833 worker: Transcend1TB
20221118 230833 worker: Transcend1TB_

To get rid of it do the following:

1. Unplug all USB drives
2. Delete the orphaned directory

Code:

sudo rmdir /media/Transcend1TB_

The log also shows

Thanks Fellas....attention much appreciated!!

Bit of an update here!!!....
Despite 3 second update 'animation'.....I can now see USB/Transcend1TB.....and view/play files
I'd been expecting the update procedure to take a lot longer......

So perhaps I now only need to remove orphaned drive??

I'll follow Tim's instruction first of all...

Code:

sudo rmdir /media/Transcend1TB_

gives....."no such file or directory"....with USB drive unplugged.

Rebooting....with USB attached....gives

ls /media -l
total 16
drwx------ 2 root root  4096 Nov 18 16:37 Transcend1TB
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12288 Nov 18 12:16 Transcend1TB_

.....is it the 1st drive (without underscore) that needs to go????

PS.....viewing UI on my PC !!

Since the Transcend1TB shows no access for others than root, I believe your drive is Transcend1TB_...
(weird you see the two folders only when the drive is plugged in... you should see one even without the drive...)

BUT

I suggest you try to see what's inside each folder, and just remove the empty one (with sudo rmdir /media<whatever>).
Then unplug-replug the drive should give you only one, and possibly with a proper name...

Cheers, Al.

....Yup....with no USB's attached.....it's the Transcend1TB that persists

[Tonewheelkev]

....Certainly looks like drive WITH underscore is the right one....playing from it right now
(Tried to show a printscreen section here....but failed miserably)

CRACKED IT......removed the Transcend1TB.....leaving the ......1TB_
Rebooted....updated library.....now shows ......1TB.....and all's good...

Hooooraaaaay!!!

Many thanks once again

Good then.
if you unmount it from the command line, then you should still see the other one, and be able to remove it; this is what I did when it hit me.

Cheers, Al.
