sorry for omitting that info.

n800, OS2008, 1gb SD card to boot from; booting from ext2.

I thought it was doing this, but when I boot from flas, hand ask the load appelet to show me what processes are running, it shows me metalayer-crawler uses about 30-40%, and the cpu bar isn't at 100%. Oh, and it runs for no more than 5-10 minutes.

why would the boot from the mmc be so different?

p.s. what would be the difference in this case between ext2 and ext3? doesn't it come to the same result?
