mpd

When your mpd reports 'Error reading db, fgets'

This morning our mp3 server at work ran out of disk space entirely, which caused mpd to stop (we run mpd, icecast with the Pitchfork frontend off a Debian server over our stereo system in the office. It's great except for the terrible music that often gets played).

After clearing some space (also known as deleting aforementioned terrible music), I was unable to start mpd simply with /etc/init.d/mpd start. The error I received was 'Error reading db, fgets'.
