Bug Description

forked-daapd fails to start on bootup when the music files are located on a software raid volume. This is because the system init scripts attempt to start forked-daapd before starting mdadm (the software raid daemon). The fix is simply to re-order the startup scripts so that mdadm starts first. On my system (Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS ) that amounts to renaming the startup script symlinks from:
   /etc/rc2.d/S25mdadm
   /etc/rc2.d/S20forked-daapd
to:
   /etc/rc2.d/S25mdadm
   /etc/rc2.d/S90forked-daapd

Hope this helps

Could you please try the latest version? Any version >= 22 should work nicely since I switched to a new active upstream in Debian.
Switching to a Ubuntu release with systemd as init also should resolve the issue.
