Well, before you stomp off... Try adding your home dir in the exclude folders in the baloofilerc and see if he kept his promise to shut it all down. Depending on whether his last fix went into opensuse repositories or not, it might have one big surge of file io, when you do that, but then it should be done with. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What will Baloo do with sym-links in home directories? How about nfs-mounted filesystems pointed to by sym-links in home directories? In my case we've got tens of thousands of 4-GB binary files that I'm not sure we want to index.

Well, that too depends on whether the last bunch of changes made it into the Opensuse 4.13 repository. From what I read, he was supposed to not follow mounted systems. He initially was doing that, and it caused a mountain of network IO BOTH when mounting and again when unmounting. In any event, if your mount point is to a specific place in your home directory, you want to add that folder to excluded folders list in baloofilerc. And if it would not be worthwhile indexing these binary file types then add their extensions to the list of excluted file types in the same baloofilerc. There are a boat load of extensions on that list already. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Good point, I forgot about that. Under the nepomuk regime I told it to index ~/Documents and only ~/Documents for a very good reason. I have ~/bin, ~/lib and ~/virtual_images as well as a few things that come to mind. I suspect many other people also have such 'binaries' under their home directory. Yes I know I can set up Baloo to exclude them but that's not the point. First, I shouldn't need to. I had things set up but Baloo isn't honouring them. Second, there are going to be things indexed that I simply forgot to exclude. That's very different from indexing things I fort to include. You notice things that aren't there that you thought should be and take remedial action. Sorry, the "developers know best" attitude doesn't make sense. It might have made sense with a starting point but not as a revision to an established 'product' which we had used and configured. Microsoft has been pressured to ring back the start button. Perhaps we can pressure to being back things to work they way they did in this case. -- Not big on food that takes less than 15 seconds to cook and comes wrapped in paper brighter than the packaging for Barbie dolls. -- Found on GoodCompany.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
