Package: baloo
Version: 4:5.28.0-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When baloo indexes files, it takes up all system resources (CPU, memory, disk)
and the computer becomes unusable until it finishes which can take from several
minutes to almost half an hour.
This is erroneous behavious as it equals crashing the system. There need to be
implemented limitations that baloo has to respect to provide a usable indexing.
Also the indexing runs not only when the computer
is idle but also under load. When I get the console running and ask balooctl
status, I after almost a minute:
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Indexed 34283 / 34283 files
Current size of index is 15.80 GiB
How can it be idle when even the terminal is unusable...
Please maintainer, is there any fix that could be applied to stable debian that
resolves this issue?
