Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tracker
hi there. first of all, I am on Intrepid, with the stock trackerd from the repos. I think that corrupt indexes are the cause of most of the problems people are experiencing with tracker, such as persistent 100% cpu usage, exponential index size growth, no results returned by the search tool. in my specific case, I had all the symptoms above after I filled up the disk, and tracker was indexing at the same time. I got no error message whatsoever, and from there on tracker became a memory and cpu hog, and returned no results. deleting ~/.cache/tracker and reindexing made it. now, I think that the index should be a bit more resistant to problems such as the disk filling up, but in case it gets corrupted, tracker should be able to detect it, and popup something like "index got corrupted, do you want me to reindex?" instead of keeping trying to read it blowing up the CPU.... thanks, let me know if I must add something. ** Affects: tracker (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- trackerd should detect corrupt index and reindex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
