AFAIK similarly to the builtin crawler, Canola is also using inotify on
the memory cards, so that could be triggering the bug on startup too
(by starting to go through the card contents when the bootup process
mounts it).

When the next release comes out (with crawler version which handles
memory card related errors better), you could check whether things
work better (at least when Canola is not installed).

I.e. unsupported by current releases, only cards upto 2GB
are supported... Larger ones working is just luck.

I think on the device the information would be here:
	/sys/devices/platform/mmci-omap.1/mmc1:0001/
But it seems to be in numeric format. :-/
