This is interesting, there are over thousand files without any
filename extension (or I botched my script). What files those
are? :-)
Nokia-N800-51:/media/mmc2# find . -type f | wc -l
418
Nokia-N800-51:/media/mmc2# find . -type d | wc -l
42

This was with or without nicing the crawler (in its init script)?
This was prior to nicing the crawler.

Device rebooted?
Yes.
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)...
I assume it is fine to remove and insert the internal SD card while
the unit is on? I did so, but didn't see the crawler kick in. I
therefore did a "/etc/init.d/metalayer-crawler0 restart", but this
didn't seem to do much either. In any event:
PID USER STATUS RSS PPID %CPU %MEM COMMAND
...
2094 user S N 2896 329 0.0 2.2 metalayer-crawl
2096 user R N 2896 2094 0.0 2.2 metalayer-crawl
Hmm, it looks like the SD card did not remount:
Nokia-N800-51:~# umount /media/mmc2
Nokia-N800-51:~# mount /media/mmc2
mount: Can't find /media/mmc2 in /etc/fstab
Nokia-N800-51:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2
mount: Mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/mmc2 failed: No such file or directory
Nokia-N800-51:~# ls -l /dev/mmcblk0p1
ls: /dev/mmcblk0p1: No such file or directory
Where did my SD card go? :-)
> 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 don't have strings. Grrr.
> I'll install fsck on the unit.
You can do fsck the card FAT on the you Linux PC (or on Windows).
Done under XP, no errors.
Thanks for all your help!
