I'm not completely sure, but it's easy to test. Take the card out and
put it back and see whether crawler (momentarily) takes CPU. :-)

You can check it from the PC, but at least from the ls output the card
wouldn't seem to be corrupted, at least not in the way that in my case
triggers the crawler using CPU forever.

Thanks!
The filetype script output was correct, you really have only three
movies on the card (in addition to jpegs) and no music files.
I'm now very interested on what file(s) the crawler spends its time.
Could you:
- start Xterm
- run following command in the terminal:
----------------------
while true; do
for pid in $(pidof metalayer-crawler); do
ls -l /proc/$pid/fd/|grep /;
done|sort|uniq;
echo ===sleep===; sleep 5;
done
---------------------
- take out the card
- wait few secs and insert it again
And report on what filenames appear longest in the script
output while crawler works?
- Eero
