Sounds good. I'm building a new Pi server stack, so the Pi in question

I'm always happy with a simple solution :) The Pi server stack will be
on a UPS anyway, so I'm not too worried about SD card corruption.
The alternative I was thinking about required two steps:
- Split config, with scanner writing database to location on NAS, and
LMS reading database from RAM drive;
- Short wrapper around the scanner, that on completion of a scan
copied the database cache to RAM drive and then restarted LMS.
But I say that with the confidence of a fool (:)), as I have no idea how
LMS works internally, so I'm sure I'd get very stuck very quickly if I
tried to set this up !

More aesthetics in my case - as a long-time Sun user NFS simply seems
more natural for Unix-Unix file sharing.
Thanks very much.
