I have music collection on NFS share and I'm using MPD 0.11.5 from portage (media-sound/mpd). 'Mpd' service needs only 'localmount' service. I think, it must depends on 'netmount' service too. I change '/etc/init.d/mpd' depend() function this way: .... depend() { need localmount netmount use alsasound } .... and it works fine for me. Sorry for my English :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mpd using 'emerge mpd' 2. change /etc/mpd.conf 'music_directory' parameter to any NFS-mounted directory (/mnt/server/music on my machine) 3. create mpd's db using 'mpd --create-db' command. 3. do 'rc-update add mpd default' 4. reboot Actual Results: mpd service don't start with message 'Can't stat /mnt/server/music/ directory'. Expected Results: mpd service must start after 'netmount' service.

I disagree - I myself don't use the netmount service. Correct invocation is "use netmount", i.e. start netmount service before mpd *if* it's in the same runlevel (runlevel "default", usually). I'll change the initscript accordingly.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting this.
