I finally managed to compile 0.9 to try it out and the support to handle
"unmounted" filesystems doesn't help me (I access my NFS-mounted filesystem
via symlinks, for example).
I think the only *safe* moment when we can remove an entry from the database
is when the two conditions are met:
1 - `lstat' says the file doesn't exist.
2 - the directory in which the file should reside does exist.
In any other circumstance, it seems risky.
All in all, I'd rather *never* auto-remove entries from the database.
Instead we should introduce a flag "missing" and grey-out the songs which
are "missing". And add a command to flush-out "missing" entries.
Stefan "rather annoyed at having to wait half an our to rebuild the
database every time rhythmbox happens to run while the
network is down"
