So, first: you can disable tracker by just disabling its services in gnome-session-properties -- you can choose to just disable the filesystem miner, btw. So the first (stupid) question: do you have a symlink in one of those directories to a system directory? (In reply to comment #2)

Could be http://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/commit/?h=tracker-0.8&id=0a0289555939b12809b262d86cc6c3ab043f6b0d. If you have some time for tests, I can build some packages.

It's a little unintuitive that there are 3 different entries in the list (Tracker Applet, Tracker File System Miner and Tracker Store) and that file system mining can't be disabled from the applet's preferences. This should all be better integrated IMHO - but that's not the topic. No, I don't have any symlink in ~/Documents pointing to an external directory. I double-checked that before filling this bug report. I don't quite understand the bug report you pointed to, but I'll trust you that it may be related. Yes, I have some time for tests. This is exactly why I created this bug report: so that it can be carefully investigated and hopefully fixed. Otherwise I would have uninstalled tracker right away - I didn't even use it once since installing my system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hrm, not sure. You can certainly do some search to guess what's in there, though. There'll be a tracker in home:vuntz:11.3-testing on the build service soonish. It's an update to the latest upstream version from the same branch (0.8.17). It'd be interesting to see if it helps with your issue. If it does, then at least, I can take a closer look and bissect all this, I guess. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I ended up doing exactly this. The results are that my whole filesystem is NOT indexed, contrary to my initial claim. I may have been fooled by the fact that lsof lists dynamically-linked libraries, not only files being read by the application. Sorry about that. However, I found that my whole home is being indexed, instead of just ~/Documents as I asked. This includes various copies of the Linux kernel source tree, and all my mails - no wonder the cache is pretty large. So there is still a bug, just not exactly the one I initially suspected. I've updated the summary line to reflect this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

FWIW, by default, you should have /home/$login in the list of Non-Recursively Indexed directories, and by default it's there (I just double-checked both in the code and in a vm with a 11.3 install). I'm not sure why it's not the case for you. Can you attach ~/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg? Now, that still doesn't explain why it indexed things in your home. Unless you have a symlink to your home from somewhere under ~/Bureau or ~/Documents, I guess. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't put any file directly in my home, so there was no point in leaving this entry there. ~/Bureau is out of the game, as I removed it from the list of Recursively Indexed directories some times ago. There's only ~/Documents left, and it doesn't contain any symbolic link to a directory. There was a symbolic link to a file outside my home, I've just removed it just in case, but I doubt it has anything to do with the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

the question is also how it started the full index first?
There was no full index; it was just indexing Jean's $HOME, which is big. And when Jean changed the configuration to index only a subset of $HOME, the database didn't get updated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Daniel Schmidt <jdsn@novell.com> 2010-11-23 15:01:40 UTC --- Strange "trakcer" behaviour appeared on my workstation as well. I am running openSUSE 11.3 with all current updates and have a KDE-only system. Today I found out that a tracker process is running here and dumps its waste into ~/.local/share/tracker/data/ . Currently I have a 3.8 GB tracker-store.journal file. This is way over 60% of my entire home - and I regard this as a severe bug. 1. Why does tracker create such big waste files in the users home? 2. Why does tracker get started in the first place and how? I did not start it? 3. How to disable it? Yes, I can "rpm -e" it but this will not solve the issue - just mine. Are these three problems solved with the proposed update? If yes, then ignore this comment. If not, please look into it again. I will even open a new bug report if needed to track these separate issues. Please tell me if you need any more information. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. Why does tracker create such big waste files in the users home?
Well, it's hard to tell since I have no idea what's in the file... This bug can potentially help, yes.
2. Why does tracker get started in the first place and how? I did not start it?
Because it's autostarted on login.
3. How to disable it? Yes, I can "rpm -e" it but this will not solve the issue - just mine.
Disable tracker? Just remove it from the applications started on login. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. Why does tracker create such big waste files in the users home?

I did not read it completely due to time limitations :) But a 'tail' on that file showed some IRC logs. A 'tail -n1000' also showed binary data, so it must be different stuff that got logged there. Btw. I deleted the file.
2. Why does tracker get started in the first place and how? I did not start it?
Because it's autostarted on login.
I was not informed about that (note: I use my home since SuSE Linux 8.2).
3. How to disable it? Yes, I can "rpm -e" it but this will not solve the issue - just mine.
Disable tracker? Just remove it from the applications started on login.
Where do I do this in KDE? I could not find any place to configure that or remove it. This bug now turns into a usability issue as well, as a normal user most likely is unable to determine what application is messing around in his $HOME and does not find any hint about how to disable the unknown thing.

I was not informed about that (note: I use my home since SuSE Linux 8.2).
Maybe because it wasn't installed before?

Where do I do this in KDE?
I have no idea, I don't use KDE. But I'm pretty sure KDE has a UI for that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
