/var/log/mpd.log reaches 20MB in size (max space allocated)

Trying to understand a recurring issue I’m having where the Music Library becomes inaccessible until I re scan the source (A very large NAS) but I’m noticing the mpd.log file gets to a point where it is 20MB in size and no longer updates. 1) Does this cause mpd to stop functioning? 2) can I make a change to move this log file somewhere else (and have it persist) ?

Every now and then my Volumio that connects to the share on my main Volumio does that too.
A restart of the one that connects to the remote music share usually cures it, and a rescan then works.
I think MPD just gets tired sometimes.
I can still kill it by changing through x number of web radio stations on Volumio.

I was able to adjust:
/volumio/app/plugins/music_service/mpd/mpd.conf.tmpl

changing log_level to “error”

Hey,
Just to warn you, doing this will prevent future Volumio update :wink:

Thanks for the heads up

Do you leave the system running volumio on all the time? Mine is in the same circuit as my HiFi, so when I turn the HiFi off the Pi running volumio is powered off too, just powered it on to look at the size of the log:
ls -l /var/log/mpd.log
