If that's the case, then you might be able to get away with just leaving some kind of breadcrumbs whenever you've successfully processed a directory or a file,
Unless you're indexing a read-only device (whether hardware read-only like a CD, or permission-wise read-only like a network share or a non-priv user walking system directories)...
Also, I can understand why the operations on the files themselves might crash, but can't you catch an exception and keep on chugging?
I also wondered this one, perhaps logging the directory in which the exception happened to later revisit. :)
