Bug ID: 403866 Summary: Baloo seems to load the whole index file into memory Product: frameworks-baloo Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Baloo File Daemon Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: d...@newtech.fi Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY The baloo file index seems to load the whole index file into memory and thus using huge amounts of memory and crippling the system STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ask baloo to index your files 2. Check the memory usage with top and note the RES use of baloo_file_indexer It seems to use a bot more than the size of the index file. 3. Kill it before it use up all of your memory (I killed it at 2.5GB RES usage) OBSERVED RESULT Too much memory used EXPECTED RESULT An indexer should use a lot less memory SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.42.0 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.42.0 Qt Version: 5.9.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
