--- Comment #7 from tagwer...@innerjoin.org --- > ... 'balooctl status' took quite a long time to return the result ... Balooctl is looking through the index and counting the files that still need to be indexed - at the same time as baloo is indexing and adding results to it. The two do a little dance as to who gets access to the file.... One thing to double-check: Watch out whether you are using symlinks. Baloo does not follow these when it discovers what needs to be indexed. If you've created your text file in a folder "elsewhere" in your system and symlinked to it, then it is not going to be indexed. Second, there's a recent change (something that is being looked at again at the moment) that caps the amount of memory that baloo can use. You might want to check the: /usr/lib/systemd/user/kde-baloo.service file (if it exists...) If there's a memory limit is there as a: MemoryHigh=512M line, you can try changing it to: MemoryHigh=50% and see whether the indexing changes. However the underlying problem is likely to be with BTRFS (and the fact that when you reboot your disc might be mounted with a different device number - and this makes baloo think that all your files are "new files"). It's worth looking at Bug 470665. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
