Problems with Indexing Crashing Obsidian

One more thing:
Are there any external files linked or symlinked to the vault? If you don’t have the external drive attached, it can cause a 20-30 minute hang time.

I learned the hard way, and no longer add my symlinked folders with files (some 20000 of them) to my vault. If the external drive is not attached, Obsidian needs to offload these files and takes long.
