Public bug reported: The tracker service is continuously writing and deleting more than 20G of 120GB partition (only 20G left). I do some development on this system but this what I create and delete is < 1MB per hour and tracker writes 20G per a few seconds! For now I solve it by using .nomedia files, but...
Creating .nomedia files everywhere is not a solution. Whenever I forget to create it my drive is under high writing pressure. Please, create an option in the settings for settings up this tool and optionally turning it off. E.g. an option to select tree of folder that should not be indexed would be enough for me. Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Release: 20.04 tracker-miner-fs: 2.3.3-2, http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages I expect that indexing service will not take more space than the actual data that is changing. Instead changing the small chunks of files cause non proportionally higher writing on the disk (TBW on NVMe).
