My Suspicions as to the "Crash"
Authored by: mustang_dvs on Jul 30, '07 09:28:42AM

I doubt you've experienced a Finder "crash" (unless a dialog tells you, in point of fact, that the Finder has undexpectedly quit or is no longer responding). More than likely, you're experiencing a temporary hang while:

  • the Finder attempts to connect to an unavailable network share at startup,
  • Spotlight attempts to index the drive, or
  • an intensive background task that would normally run as a chron job, like deleting a massive TMP or Cache directory takes place.
FUS relies on the SystemUIServer to be running, which, generally doesn't happen if the Finder crashes or encounters a DiskIO issue.
