I've been running a file system scan for mpd for almost 24 hours. It's been running without interruption and is now, according to du, about 2/3 done. Vanilla mpd will scan this directory and its subdirectories in about 3 hours. Moode and Volumio take 4 to 5 hours. Is this normal behavior? The directory contains 96K files, some of which are text and graphics associated with the music content.

HiFiBerry team mpd on HiFiBerryOS is a "vanilla" version without any patches from us. Large music libraries can take a lot of time to scan. As long as you see it progressing, it seems to be fine.

Joel Fritz How can I monitor the progress of the scan. In a vanilla mpd installation tail mpd.log -f will do it. I see that there is no mpd.log in this implementation. I understand. It's optional. Hifiberry.log doesn't seem to show any activity beyond successful detection of the HAT I'm using. Journalctl isn't showing anything.

Joel Fritz The scan continues. It's nearing the 48 hour mark. I figured out how to do journalctl by process ID to restrict the output to the scan process. I'm not sure how the scan order works, but if it's by directory, ascending alpha sort, du says it's in the next to the last directory and journalctl says it's in the 4th of 19. I'm confused by the difference between the two utilities. I'm not sure of how to get a file count so I'm not presenting a precise view of progress. If I were better at NIX scripting I'm sure I could l could get a count.
