You could check whether tracker log files contain something informative. Good command could be.
~ $ tail .local/share/tracker/tracker-indexer.log
P.S. IMO flashing the device is sort of giving up
And it doesn't guarantee to make your indexing (which tracker does) any better next time.

Uninstalled butterfly because everything was just hanging. Email is still hanging. Will do hard reset. If problem persists will have no choice but to reflash. But that will be really really annoying as I have spent ages on my settings.

I added a few music files yesterday and have been tagging my picture files (probably have like 4000 pictures).
What is PID?
A PID is a process ID number. Every process/task ran on Linux has one.

Hopefully you can avoid re-flashing the unit sounds too much like a "ms windows" solution to me!

Not quite sure what you mean - he's actually right.
Schrodingers Electrons are in neither an on or an off state until you take the battery out. Then you can see the PCB and as we know from quantum theory act of obsevation has and effect on the quantum state of electrons - so just by seeing the PCB you actually reset the electrons in the device and they are no longer confused. (Please make sure you hold the N900 horizontal when taking the battery out though otherwise the electrons tend to drain out of the battery terminals and onto the floor).
As an aside all of these issues can be avoided by encasing electonics in clear cases. It's why the original Imac was see-through - Apple had a really issue with confused electons at that point although they now seem to have it under control.

I know you can filter by directory, but that's not the default and I also don't want my pretty ladies to be "mixed" with photos of my son when I start browsing photos.

So if it gets too bad, removing the media (and then adding it again gradually, to see if something specific triggers the issue) may be the best thing to try.
I have about 20gb of music and video on the device.

Is this the same tracker that is part of Gnome?
If this is the case you can configure it not to track while on battery power and exclude folders and certain media.
As far as I remember!
