Hi, I had an unmount recurring problem with my external HDs and yesterday I located the culprit. The fact is that nepomukindexer was indexing my disk and while indexing is running I can't unmount my external HDs. Luckily pausing indexing solved the problem but this could be hidden to normal users. I imagine that nepomuk is using the same policy to index internal and external HDs and this could be problematic. Maybe this could be solved detecting that the user want's to unmount an external HD and stopping the indexing but I don't know if this detection is possible.
In my case I have several thousands of music videos in several video formats and indexing takes so long so I think that automatic indexing is not a good idea with external HDs and must be a user decision. A manual indexing/reindexing combined with the tip from "http://trueg.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/manually-forcing-the-re-indexing-of-folders-is-easy"; will be my ideal solution. I am aware of the difficulty of synchronizing information of tens of thousands of files from my hard drive so try to have updated this information, in my particular case, is a waste of system resources. -- Best wishes, Ignacio _______________________________________________ Nepomuk mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/nepomuk
