Re: [Tracker] tracker index interruption

[Jackson Lawson <jacksonlawson55 yahoo com>]

what mean "replaying the journal"?

Does tracker validate the content of the file before indexing it. For example, like there's an .mp3 file but 
it has
an invalid mpeg contents.

Hi Jackson

on restart Tracker will first replay the journal to ensure DB
consistency. The indexing
of files are done by the miners, which are independent processes. If
I'm right, the
filesystem miner will at startup crawl the indexed directories, and
check the mtimes of
each file to see if they need to be (re)indexed. The FS miner will have
to wait until
Tracker finishes replaying the journal before being able to insert
data.

Cheers
