Re: [Tracker] Tracker indexing problem

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

Hi Alexandru,

 tracker-stats just counts the instances in the DB. As Alexander explained, the files are in the DB, but with the flag "available" to false.

 Those files should be in tracker-search results. Check it. If they appear there, then it is a bug. Otherwise is just the expected behavior.

 Regards,

Ivan

 

 If they are visible in tracker-search, then there is a bug.

Every file in the USB will belong to a specific tracker:Volume; and when
you eject the USB that Volume will be marked with tracker:isMounted set
to FALSE and all the files in the volume with tracker:available set to
FALSE as well. If you don't mount the USB in 3 days (IIRC there is a
bugreport to make that number configurable), all the resources of that
tracker:Volume will be removed.

See http://live.gnome.org/Tracker/Documentation/Examples/SPARQL/Volumes
for more info on Volumes.

Cheers,
