External process writing to the filesystem.

It does not.  That checkbox appears to be enabled by default, and I have
been doing 'scan' and 'update database', so no luck there.  Strangely,
when this happens, the artifacts show up in a search, but you can't
browse to them.  I mean they don't show up under the /archiva/browse
URL, you can use the /repository URL and see them there just fine.

It does create missing metadata files, but the process seems to be very
hit-or-miss, and shows almost nothing in the way of useful feedback or
diagnostics.  

Is there some other, more decisive manual way to force it to re-scan the
entire filesystem and recreate the metadata files?
