I have a laptop and wanted to do a blitz index of my entire drive to get it out of the way. My settings are attached below, but after taking about 5 minutes just to figure out how many files it needed to index, it would go to the index mode and would constantly be interrupted by the system. The CPU usage was zero, and the hard drive showed reading/writing once every second. I would also wave the mouse over the applet to get status messages and every second on the second it would switch between "Indexing" to "paused by system." As you can see from my settings below, nothing I set gave any situation when it would do anything but index. I even disabled the "stop when on battery" options thinking that it wasn't recognizing that it was on ac power and the smart pausing. I did all this and made sure to restart the computer as well. But same thing. No indexing. Paused by some system process.
I would like to point out that this doesn't happen when I tell it to index only my home folder. My hunch is that its getting stuck on permission problems as it tries to open up and read the files owned by root throughout the drive. Is there ignore error code in the code somewhere?.
Either that, or it's trying to open up hardware files in /dev and getting confused because you can't open them. Again is there ignore open error code in there?
