I don't mean that; I mean that if you had checked for user-dirs.dirs corruption first, you wouldn't have needed to go to tracker-control -r step...That step is after you corrected user-dirs.dirs and media is still not detected (old media needs to be transferred out and in again for detection) then tracker reset is used as a last resort...

Tracker reset deletes your call logs and messages hence I meant if you detected user-dirs.dirs corruption you could have saved them...
