@romano: did you check the recollindex process size when the problem occurred ?
Paging/swapping would have been the most probable explanation for what you were seeing. It seems unlikely that "ordinary" I/O from the ioniced recollindex could cause problems, but eviction of your applications memory pages by excessive memory usage from recollindex or its helpers quite possibly could. I never experience this on my system by the way, there must be something in my usage pattern or configuration which prevents it, but I'd be quite interested in fixing the problem anyway. In any case, getting rid of the problem by using batch indexing is a sane approach, it's quite rare that you would need to search for very recent files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718427 Title: recoll slows system to a crawl To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/recoll/+bug/718427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
