removable devices and such...

[matt nicholson <sjoeboo sjoeboo com>]

someone on the ubuntu users list just asked about indexing an external 
drive. while i assume that this should be no problem, so long as the 
file system is mounted and readable etc, it got me thinking.

what about removable devices?

if i had data on a usb drive i wanted to index, i am sure i could set up 
beagle to index it, little to no problems. the question is, what does 
beagled do when i unplug it? does it see the "empty" mount directory and 
think all the files are gone, and removes them form the index, only to 
reindex them all again when i plug it back in? or will it keep them in 
the index?

just curious. i haven't tired yet. maybe i will once i get home from 
work tonite.

anyways, keep the awesomeness coming with beagle.

mat.
