Bug Description
I'm using the tracker search tool in the final gutsy release, and have noticed that it doesn't index mounted directories even though i've enabled 'index mounted directories' in the index preferences. This includes my windows partition, which is mounted before I login through gdm and also a usb external hard disk, which is mounted only after I login. I read in a previous bug that any directory that isn't mounted before login won't be indexed. Is there any workaround to this, since I have all my data and documents stored in this external drive. I tried adding the folder this external drive mounts into to the list of directories to be watched and indexed by tracker. This works initially, but when I reboot, the searches yield no results, although the tracker-stats show that the external drive has been indexed. What could be the problem?
