SOLVED: AmahiTunes Value too large for defined data type

I get the error "Value too large for defined data type" when starting the mt-daapd server in Amahi 5.5. I only changed the mp3 directory and the default password in the mt-daapd.conf file.... So, any idea's...

UPDATE
I had used a windows share that is a very large music database. After searching and some help on the chat room I ran into this

The error was:

Value too large for defined data type


The solution is to add this options to your smbfs/cifs mount options (in /etc/fstab for example):

,nounix,noserverino

I updated the cifs automounting comand in fstab to include these two options

ie.. //server/share /var/hda-music-share cifs username=user,password=password,nounix,noserverino 0 0

Restarted with no errors and mt-daapd has been building its db for a while now... yea.. done...

just to be clear (for others that may read this) - you were *mounting* a share into your HDA.

i think we had seen this before and had not found a good solution!
