Actually, this would make tracker faster because it will no longer need to search for changed files.
I'm not tracker insider, but I suspect that it is using some (kernel) magic to check only changed files, but when such file is huge, then it will take time to index content anyway.
I doubt it. It's observed behaviour here is to poll every file for changes, probably by looking at mtime and then reindex changed ones. That's a huge difference from watching for changes and requires more resources. I do not suggest that there be a new daemon for tracker that keeps track of changes to the filesystem. That would be reinventing the wheel yet again and inefficient as there are already other capable services such as gamin. Rather, a tracker watcher service that keeps a record of gamin's output for use by the tracker search service which in turn will only reindex changed files as well as index new ones. jd -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
