If you don't use beagle and it is installed, I would remove it. It may be better than it used to be but I often found it would not stop it's indexing even after I started working and it creates tons of files in .beagle directory. On Fri, 2007-10-19 at 10:26 -0400, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote:

When I come in it is thrashing the hard drive every morning. I had a problem a while back where every few minutes it would take over and I couldn't use evolution at all. Now its just more of an annoyance, but still, WHY does it have to thrash my hard drive like that every night? I'm using an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 Dual Core Machine with 1GB of memory, not a real powerhouse, but still. I'm using a standard Fedora 7, and I'm connecting to a Groupwise server, so it shouldn't be so bad. For the amount of processor resources and the amount of time it runs, you would it is using you would think it is rewriting my whole hard drive. Why does it need to do this?You don't say what version of Evo you're using, nor what you mean exactly by "thrashing your hard drive". If it's any help, note that at night Fedora runs updatedb, which can hit your hard drive especially if it's trying to reindex a lot of local mail spools. Similarly if you have beagle or some other search demon running, are synching local remote folders for offline use etc. I use Evo 2.12 on Fedora 7 and haven't seen this. What I have seen is CPU usage going through the roof (and CPU temperature with it, which is more worrying) but this seems to be caused by runaway evolution-alarm-notify. In some circumstances I find I can have more than one of these running -- I suspect it's due to buggy session management -- and they go mad as a result. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
