This patch prevents tracker from descending into mountpoints which is a directory other than a watch- or crawl-root. I often have some fs (sshfs, nfs) mounted under my $HOME and found tracker going down all these trees. Also, there was a bug report on launchpad about this[1]. I am however not sure if this method works, also I haven't found much references when searching for it by google or clusty. If there are objections to this method of mount-point 'discovery' it would be possible to read mtab and store it in struct Tracker for processing. However as tracker is not that simple I am not aware of any side effects this patch may have on tracker, I tested it - with mount points in watched dirs and crawled ones, with fuse and nfs mounts. Any comments? Cheers, Marcus [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/tracker/+bug/83997
