Also not to minimize the situation, but I still don't see how this is
significantly different from ext2 taking a dump. Or XFS, or any
filesystem format really. [**]It happens, be prepared for it.

Recommend Nautilus. It's a bloated pig, but it does have that silly
little "preview thumbnail" feature thing that will show actual contents
of actual files while it scans the directory. Has lots of other nifty
little bells-n-whistles. I'd like it a lot more if it were consistently
stable, too. Maybe by version 1.1 it'll be up to snuff.

My favorites:

There are three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who
can't.

There are two kinds of people, those who divide people into two kinds of
people and those who don't.
