Canola does use gnomevfs (i don't know if it uses inotify internally).
BUT, canola triggers a consistency check after boot, since MMC card
may be inexistent or changed. If things are still the same, it'll be
just a bunch of stat() calls (one per file), not that slow.
I see he has Mapper installed. By default, Mapper recommends
/media/mmc1/Maps to store downloaded files and Canola ships with
/media/mmc1 as media storage. This will make Canola scans every Map it
found, since maps are small JPEG, it stat(), open() and parse it...
:-/ You can remove /media/mmc1 from Canola and add more
specialized folders, like /media/mmc1/Music (if you have that).
I deleted a video from the card and then it worked fine. So it seems a
bad file can stop the device booting without any hint as to what the
problem might be!
Is this a bug that is fixed in the next firmware, if not what should i
file this against?
Thanks for the clues, Michael
