OK, I ran trackerd --reindex -v 3 and, after several hours, it exited with this (I hide the name of the files for privacy):
processing (path)/file1.dat with action TRACKER_ACTION_CHECK and counter 0 mime is text/plain for (path)/file1.dat file extension is dat file (path)/file1.dat is indexable file (path)/file1.dat has fulltext 1 with service Text Indexing (path)/file1.dat with service Text and mime text/plain (new) service id for Text is 8 and sid is 3018584 with mime text/plain WARNING: failed to update contents processing (path)/file2.dat with action TRACKER_ACTION_CHECK and counter 0 mime is text/plain for (path)/file2.dat file extension is dat file (path)/file2.dat is indexable file (path)/file2.dat has fulltext 1 with service Text Indexing (path)/file2.dat with service Text and mime text/plain (new) service id for Text is 8 and sid is 3018585 with mime text/plain WARNING: failed to update contents WARNING: sql query COMMIT failed because cannot commit - no transaction is active could not commit transaction WARNING: sql query ROLLBACK failed because cannot rollback - no transaction is active ERROR: statement could not be finalized for SaveServiceContents with error disk I/O error FATAL ERROR: can't open database at /home/user/.cache/tracker/file-contents.db: out of memory file1.dat, file2.dat, etc form part of a set of datafiles that are qualitatively the same. The patern described above for file1 was the same for many files that came before file1. file2 (the one where the crash occurs) is not special at all, is not the first or the last one in the folder.
