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.
