Hi Nasalhair,

I just was also fighting my way through running Logitech Media Server
Version 7.7.1 - r33735 on my MyBook Live 3TB yesterday. 

I've come across 2 problems, both can cause what you see in your log:

1) /tmp is too small. This was mentioned before in this thread (reletad
to bug 17471 that is open with the developers). When updating the index,
the LMS seems to make a lot of use of /tmp. The MBL has only 50M. That
will cause the re-indexing to break and leave you with a partial or
empty database. Many thanks to fjunger for pointing me into that
direction!

You could argue that no software should fail in this way just because
it ran out of memory. It should be possible to catch such problems and
come up with a plan B when /tmp space is short... But I also didn't
understand why the makers of the MyBook provided it with only 50M of
tmpfs space. This is what I did:

mount -o remount,size=500M /tmp

That may be a bit too much (it would allow to use all swap for /tmp),
but it solved my issues with re-indexing on the fly - the next index
recreation worked. You can make the change permanent (until the next
Mybook OS upgrade) by editing /etc/fstab.

2) When you have many pictures (album art or other pictures that get
indexed), your artwork.db in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache will grow
rapidly and may eat up all space on your root partition in no time (it
has only 2G). When that happens, you are also stuck and get similar
error messages.

Check / with df - when it is at 100% that is your problem. I did the
following: 

/etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver stop
cd /var/lib/
mv squeezeboxserver /CacheVolume/
ln -s /CacheVolume/squeezeboxserver/ ./squeezeboxserver
/etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start

For me this helped (but I had to redo some configuration). Good luck
and let us know your results...
