Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tracker
After unmounting a large truecrypt volume (file called test.doc) tracker starts msword_filter which copies the file to /tmp. The problem is, test.doc is a truecrypt volume of 20GB, and there are only 6GB free on /tmp. After doing 'truecrqpt -d', here are relevant lines from 'ps -ef': matze 9180 1 0 19:51 ? 00:00:10 /usr/bin/trackerd matze 15514 9180 0 21:19 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/tracker/filters/application/msword_filter /home/matze/test.doc [...] matze 15516 15514 72 21:19 ? 00:00:01 cp /home/matze/test.doc /tmp/tmpdir.15514/tmpfile.15514 msword_filter copies the 20GB file to /tmp although there is only 6GB free space. test.doc is no real word document in the first place. I dont know what truecrypt does to the file to cause tracker to re-index. A 'touch test.doc' doesn't cause the problem. msword_filter should check if there is enough free space available in /tmp. Workarounds are renaming the file or putting it on the ignore list in tracker preferences.
