Well, indexer need to index files. And react to new files appearing. Which brings in another wart of tracker - in default Fedora installation, it is set to work "while other application are running, except for initial crawl". This makes computer barely usable on second login, while tracker indexes gigabytes of text files in my ~. At least on rotating rust storage, SSD may be better. And running in idle IO priority doesn't help much. Tracker should be set to run "only when computer is not being used". But then, tracker-preferences is not installed by default. Also, 30 GiB in .cache/tracker is a bit extreme when rest of my ~ is 4 GiB. -- Tomasz Torcz ,,(...) today's high-end is tomorrow's embedded processor.'' xmpp: zdzichubg@xxxxxxxxx -- Mitchell Blank on LKML -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
