Re: [Tracker] Inquiry into work required to support removable media

can see your reasoning for this, but we're still only considering a
single user HD.  storing the db locally is fine in that case and would
give unplugged searchability.

In a case of a more mobile drive and single use scenarios, it may make
sense to have a HD based index.  user could still have a local db that
could sync with the HD index (or just the HD itself) allowing for
unplugged search.

Similarly for burned CDs and DVDs, could be convenient to create an
index of the contents before burning, that would also be burned to
disc.
