Hi Randall, Sorry for the delay. It's been a very busy week in the Cambridge office, and I've been pretty overwhelmed by the feedback on the thread so far. (49 messages!)

I'm still interested in knowing if you use the file modification daemon to minimize the amount of file scanning Beagle performs. And if not, why not? Could it be incorporated?
Beagle uses inotify for this -- in fact, inotify was basically written *for* Beagle with its use cases in mind. inotify is a kernel service, so you actually don't need a separate daemon to use it. For noticing file changes and such, Beagle depends heavily on inotify. We still have to crawl files when the Beagle daemon starts up though, to set up inotify watches on all the directories it pays attention to and to notice and index any changes that may have happened while Beagle wasn't running.
