Really...? This was suggested on the developer list as a way to create a shortcut to the root of the system for normal file browsing to work. I've done it and hadn't noticed any problems, unless that's the cause of some of my battery drain.

Yep, that will drain your battery big time. The media searching app goes into a loop.

It makes sense. Linux would constantly be trying to re-read sections of the card and that would take CPU + battery.

If I've already issued these commands, what do I do to reverse them?

Oh, thank you! Does this mean that I can activate the crawler again without it swamping my CPU?
