Bug ID: 409587
Summary: Many inotify_add_watch errors starting Elisa
Product: elisa
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: baloo
Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr
Reporter: cfco...@verizon.net
Target Milestone: ---
After starting Elisa, I get the following message many thousands of times:
inotify_add_watch(/home/cory/Music/[Artist]/[Album]/[Track].mp3) failed: (No
space left on device)
My music collection is ~14,000 songs. I'm concerned that the scanning approach
adopted by Elisa may not be scaling well. For example, the "Scanning" message
remains on my Elisa window for several minutes, my system works fairly hard
after starting Elisa, and when running Elisa both it and baloo_file consume
~258GiB of virtual RAM (the resident set is much smaller, but the behavior is
still unusual).
If my scaling concerns are unfounded, please just consider this a report of
inotify_add_watch() behavior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Start Elisa with a music collection of ~14,000 songs.
OBSERVED RESULT: The issues listed above.
EXPECTED RESULT: A quicker/leaner startup and execution without errors.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: Kubuntu 19.04, Elisa version 0.4.80 (built from source)
