runs well on weak machines such
as the

</ulink>
. However, such hardware tends to not have storage
big enough to hold a music collection. Mounting music from a
file server can be very slow, especially when updating the
database.

<para>
One approach for optimization is running
<application>
MPD
</application>
on the file server, which not
only exports raw files, but also provides access to a readily
scanned database. Example configuration:
</para>
<programlisting>
music_directory "nfs://fileserver.local/srv/mp3"
#music_directory "smb://fileserver.local/mp3"
database {
plugin "proxy"
host "fileserver.local"
}
</programlisting>
<para>
The
<link
linkend=
"config_music_directory"
><varname>
music_directory
</varname></link>
setting tells
<application>
MPD
</application>
to read files
from the given NFS server. It does this by connecting to the
server from userspace. This does not actually mount the file
server into the kernel's virtual file system, and thus
requires no kernel cooperation and no special privileges. It
does not even require a kernel with NFS support, only the
<link
linkend=
"nfs_storage"
><filename>
nfs
</filename></link>
storage plugin (using the
<filename>
libnfs
</filename>
userspace library). The same can be done with SMB/CIFS using
the
<link
linkend=
"smbclient_storage"
><filename>
smbclient
</filename></link>
storage plugin (using
<filename>
libsmbclient
</filename>
).

The
