Bug ID: 442453
Summary: Significant amount of disk write in short time after
deleting many files in monitored folder.
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.85.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cantf...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I was deleting quite a bit of files from my home folder (not adding anything,
not moving anything - deleting with ctrl+shift+del so not even moving to
recycle bin).
baloo_file process consumed about 50% of a single core, and wrote 20-100 Mega
Bytes per second for at least several minutes, reaching a size of index of more
than 6GB.
Not sure I can reproduce it again, though.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. delete files from monitored folder, or move files to a different
(unmonitored disk)?
OBSERVED RESULT
baloo_file process wrote a lot of data, and used up a lot of CPU for a while.
Even though balooctl status reported it was idle.
The balooctl status command took about half a minute to print the data, and
balooctl monitor didn't show any activity while running from a different tab
the status command.
EXPECTED RESULT
To not increase the index size while indexed files decrease...
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
here are the results of 2 subsequent runs of balooctl status:
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: 199,551
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 5.95 GiB
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: 199,109
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 6.42 GiB
Even though, the time between running these two commands was about a minute,
the size of index grew by about 500MB, while the Total files indexed number
went down...
Here's the output of balooctl monitor:
Press ctrl+c to stop monitoring
