[05-07-11 23:33]: I restarted 11.4 and had a flurry of sustained hard drive activity and I took a look at what was running in top. I was quite surprised when I found:
4955 david 39 19 319m 18m 10m R 47 0.5 0:11.26 tracker-extract 4666 david 20 0 192m 19m 5788 S 38 0.5 0:19.49 tracker-store 4550 david 39 19 279m 22m 6604 S 8 0.6 0:06.54 tracker-miner-f
.....
So what is this thing? Is it worth keeping? Should I just nuke it? What is the collective wisdom on whether it works or is it just another waste of cpu cycles and index db space?
I don't have tracker & co. on my virgin 11.4 install and it is not installed by *default*, so it must have been something that *you* deemed necessary and desirable when you choose what you wanted included in your installation :^).
Do you not keep indexes of anything, anywhere? How do you find something that is seldom used and doesn't have a "perfectly logical location"?
It is in the GNOME pattern at least. Also pulled by some GNOME software if you are using KDE. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
