Re: chicken and egg.. It would appear that the underlying problem could be revealed quite easily. I would hazard a guess that we few "corner cases" have perhaps something in common - we are installing Ubuntu on already densely populated systems?
In my case, I suspect the combination of auto detection and mounting of my MS partitions (with 3.5 million files) and trackerd's attempt to index them. Is that a fair assessment? Would trackerd attempt to do that? If so, then it is easily replicated... create a Windows base system (XP, Vista, WIN2000 or whatever) with a few thousand dummy directories, and fill each directory with a few hundred randomly generated text files, THEN install Ubuntu and see what happens. Is it reasonable to suggest that your testing is done on clean installations? -- [gutsy] trackerd kills disk io https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131983 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
