Quick upgrade. If I'm not wrong, the crawler explore the *whole* filesystem, and thus eating so much CPU (and resources). A quick work around could be to watch only thos directoryes which are likely to contains "media" files: /home/user/MyDocs/.video /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds /home/user/MyDocs/.images invoking with: media-crawler -F -c /home/user/MyDocs/.video,/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds,/home/user/MyDocs/.images I added a MEDIAPATH variable to /etc/init.d/metalayer-crawler0 script and added it to metalayer-crawler invocations in the same script. CPU consumption is now ok. I'm going to open a bug this evening from home.
