[opensuse] 11.2 i586, The dreaded dog hung again with CPU at 43% and ate 500M of RAM
Guys Keep an eye on beagled. Tonight after cron daily, beagled hung with the processor stuck at 43%. I thought it was just indexing, so I let it run. Then 4 hours later it was still stuck at 43% and had consumed a bit over 500M of RAM in the process. I don't know the exact cause or any more of the symptoms. This is the first time I have seen it. Anybody else had to shoot the dog lately? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Nope, it has been very solid for me for quite some time. But I do hope Tracker will get integrated into openSUSE soon as that is Beagles heir-apparent. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2009-10/msg00001.html https://features.opensuse.org/307899 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dashboard-hackers/2009-September/msg00005.htm... Very sad since Beagle is managed code and Tracker is not, but that's how it turned out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I put on Taboo list first thing. So no problems here. I suppose in your line of work full text searches are pretty important, but for my use I've found "locate" to be all I need. I was migrating from 10.3, to 11.2 via a clean install. While backing up the hard disks I was preparing to wipe, I was astounded at the sheer overall size and number of files in user's .beagle directories on the old system. What an incredibly horrible design. No wonder it could grind a machine to dust. -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So, you want to index content without creating indexes?
No wonder it could grind a machine to dust.
It has an imperceptible effect on system performance. My .beagle directory is 137MB. The files are Lucene indexes which are very fast. The same indexing strategy is used in numerous 'enterprise' search appliances. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Given the history of Beagle and the huge volume of complaints about it on this mailing list that has to be one of the most disingenuous statements I have ever read. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Many complaints by a small and extremely vocal group. Also many of these complaints are *old* and reflect experiences with early versions of Beagle.
that has to be one of the most disingenuous statements I have ever read.
I believe statements against Beagle are uninformed and disingenuous - so there! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it does on my machine too - it was the first thing to be uninstalled and doesn't get anywhere near my desktop machine.

So it was the first thing uninstalled - thus you know nothing at all how current versions of Beagle perform. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
