Re: [Tracker] trackerd using 100% of a core?

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

hi Manuel

 In the 0.6.94 and 0.6.95 releases we fixed some 100%-CPU-consumption cases.

 Could you please try with those versions? If the problem is still there, we would be happy to check the logs.

 Thanks!

Ivan

Hello.  I switched to tracker after being a beagle user for some time.
I am in general satisfied with tracker; however, it is doing something
which I do not know if it is normal behavior or not.  Sorry if I am
not using the right naming as I do not really know the internal
architecture / steps tracker adopts.

The general situation is: after the initial (re)indexing, tracker
stops and sits idle for some time.  Then, at some point (let's say
after maybe half and hour or one hour), trackerd starts to use 100% of
the CPU -- only one core, therefore I can work with not so many
problems, but the laptop fan wouldn't stop.  It stays like that for a
long time.  I left it working for several hours.

Is this a normal behavior?  I.e., it can be optimizing the databases
or something like that.  If so, how long can I expect for it to
continyue working?  My statistics are as follows:

 Files = 172988
 Text = 21956
 Music = 488
 Development = 22286
 Other = 38077
 Images = 18249
 GaimConversations = 108
 Folders = 18627
 Videos = 67
 Applications = 458
 Playlists = 23
 Documents = 53215
 Conversations = 108


Or should I suspect that there is something wrong (like a unuseful
polling loop)?

I am using Tracker 0.6.93 on an Ubuntu 9.04.  I have started it with
verbosity level 3, so I can provide log files if that helps (didn't do
it already because trackerd.log is 9Mb).

Cheers and
