This is interesting, there are over thousand files without any
filename extension (or I botched my script). What files those
are? :-)

I reconfirmed last night that Media Player is taking 5+ minutes to
start up. The GUI kept on telling me it was not responding and did I
want to kill it. I didn't, and eventually the Player behaved as
expected.
This was with or without nicing the crawler (in its init script)?

Are you saying it doesn't handle symlinks properly?
I tried this by creating dirs that are symlinked to each other,
but at least that didn't seem to be a problem.
The exact symlink I crated was:
ln -s /media/mmc2 /home/user/MyDocs/Music (where mmc2 is my 2GB card of
MP3s)
I *suspect* this is why each track was showing up twice in the Media
Player.
This sym link was not present for last night's test, and the following
test I did today:
1. Powered off the unit, removed and reinserted the 2GB SD card from
the internal slot (will the N800 then know it has been reinserted?)
AFAIK the card is mounted on bootup, and crawler will then index it.
If you take the card out while the device is up and insert it again,
it will again index it (because it doesn't know it's the same one
and cannot know whether its contents were updated or not).
2. Powered on the unit, immediately run Media Player while the crawler
was running. Unit reset.
Device rebooted?
Could you check how much RAM crawler takes at most while it indexes
that card? Just start Xterm, run "top" in it and then take the card
out and and put it back again and see what's the largest RSS value for
the crawler process (if you press 'M' in keyboard, top sorts by memory
usage)...
3. Powered it up again and let it run for a while so the crawler would
finish. Media player reports (empty)
4. Bounced metalayer-crawler0, waited for it to complete. Media player
is still empty.
Is there a file that the crawler generates that I can look at?
Do:
strings /home/user/.meta_storage > meta.txt
and read the meta.txt. I don't know whether the player uses that
database directly or communicates with the crawler instead though.
I'll install fsck on the unit.
You can do fsck the card FAT on the you Linux PC (or on Windows).
It is a shame there is no strace so I could
find out what the Media Player is doing.
Hopefully this will be available later this year...
(the Debian strace source package at least doesn't build as is)
