Let's try to find out why trackerd still causes these sporadic freezes then. I think it's related to the rapid initial crawling of hundreds of directories and files. But it might also be related to other things. > I noticed that tracker-indexer has not an idle priority for I/O.

We will (martyn probably will) review the indexer-split one and if okay we'll approve (so that you can commit in indexer-split). Once in indexer-split it'll get merged to TRUNK automatically soon. > And a question, why do I see this message often: > > Tracker-Message: Items could not be processed by the indexer, Did not > receive a reply.

That happens because trackerd causes other processes, like tracker- indexer, to hang. Making tracker-indexer reply after a too long delay for trackerd. Trackerd copes with this situation by retrying it. > All around it, I get this message: > Tracker-Message: Still waiting for response from indexer, not sending > more files yet > It appears 12 times, then I get the previous message! It's like a loop. Those messages where my own initial reason why I made the patch that I attached. Does it happen with or without the patch applied, or both? -- Philip Van Hoof, freelance software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://pvanhoof.be/blog http://codeminded.be _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
