Public bug reported:
This is what I have:
Partition Ubuntu mounted in / : 20 GiB, 12 GiB in use
Partition home mounted in /home : 8 GiB, 3.1 GiB in use
Partition Data mounted in /mnt/Data : 120 GiB, 35 GiB in use
Symlink /home/me/Download -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Download
Symlink /home/me/Documents -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Documents
Symlink /home/me/Pictures -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Pictures
Symlink /home/me/Music -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Music
Symlink /home/me/Videos -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Videos
/home had 4.6 GB free.
After I copied 8 GB of *.epub files to /home/me/Documents/eBooks/, I got 0 byte
free on /home after 10 minutes, caused by tracker files in
/home/user/.cache/tracker/
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files low-disk-space-limit 10
did not help.
It seems, that tracker estimates more space than 4.6 GB because of the
symlinks to /mnt/Data/...
Suggestions:
- tracker should not try to index DRM encrypted epub files and similars
- all tracker components, not only tracker-miner*.service, should respect
low-disk-space-limit
- tracker components should never create situations with 0 bytes free, even if
low-disk-space-limit is -1
- tracker components anyway should estimate free space correctly (not include
space from symlinks to other file systems)
Workaround:
Add '*.epub' to org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files ignored-files.
