qtopia has an option to index media files on the SD, and this is enabled by 
default on the 2008.x images for the first partition. IIRC this ends up in 
the file you describe.

See reason above. You can blow the file away without problems. It may get 
recreated on your first partition if you use 2008.x again, but that shouldn't 
cause any problems. If you really don't want it you can disable the indexing, 
but I can't remember the file this option is defined in.
