Content loss after power cut

If the network mount is not happening for 20 seconds after boot, you will need to delay MinimServer for longer than this to ensure the network mount is available.

I have an idea about what might be causing the problem you have been seeing. MinimServer has special logic to preserve the cache for a content directory that is empty or not available. However, you are specifying /mnt as the content directory rather than /mnt/netmusic and this has the effect of bypassing this special logic. As a result, it is possible for the mount delay to cause the MinimServer cache for /mnt to be rebuilt with no valid entries for files in /mnt/netmusic. If you change your contentDir setting from /mnt to /mnt/netmusic, this should solve this problem.

That sounds hopefully elegant. I will try that and provoke a power-cut after I've cooked dinner - thanks
