[PROBLEM] Building library taking too long?

[Tim Curtis]

Tim and Vinn, thanks for your responses.  

I am currently at around 69K files.

I have tried listing my NAS differently (skipping the router in the list of music sources) and the drive mounted just fine, so I'm doing a re-scan right now.

IIRC there are several moOde users with collections in the 50K range and performance has been reported to be good. 

What model Pi?
What is the Pi Ethernet port connected to? (A dedicated switch, Integrated Router switch, Other).
What NAS device?
How is NAS connected to network?
Any power line adapters or intermediate switches?

Some troubleshooting approaches:

1. Monitor the MPD log while performing a database re-gen to get a sense of how much time is taken to scan a track
tail -f /var/log/mpd/log

2. Run a 30 second ping test between the Pi and your NAS and then examine the ping stats for packet loss, dropped packets, super long round trip times, etc.

3. Run the ifconfig command and examine the stats for errors

4. Burn a fresh image to a different known good SDCard.
