tagwer...@innerjoin.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tagwer...@innerjoin.org --- Comment #3 from tagwer...@innerjoin.org --- (In reply to Ellie from comment #0) > 3. Find baloo_file_extractor with constant 50MB/s disk writes The mention of "baloo_file_extractor" means you are in the middle of indexing content... Alternative would be baloo_file catching up with moves and deletes. See if "balooctl monitor" tells you what file is being indexed, whether it is a single file repeatedly indexed or you are in the middle of reindexing everything? If it is a single file, might it be continuously changing (a log file?). Watch out if you are indexing hidden files and folders, there may be files that are hidden for a reason. Ditto if you have just installed wine or steam, they can install large numbers of strange files... > 1. Find entire system lagging to the point where most things accessing the > disk cause 5 second hangs The times I've noticed that are when the extractor crashes and the system is repeated creating crash dumps. That can really slug performance. Secondly if the reindexing forces the system to swap, you do *not* want that to happen... Have a look and see what: systemctl --user status kde-baloo tells you.... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
