Title:
gnome-Tracker fills up my root with 27GB after kernel update
Status in tracker package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:

process now been running for 800 mins. after software-update installed
a new kernal.
This is the second time this has happened.
This is poorly documented software, no description of the metadata anywhere
or any justification for why this softare runs or
is needed. For all I know it could e malicious.
I do not like any software that keeps my disk continually busy for
three days without expaination.
I am going to find the line in the init scripts that kicks this off
and comment it out.

I challenge anyone to explain why this process should be running.
I am ssurely tempted to hange my window manager and possibly dump
Ubuntu and not use Gnome on any other Linux.
