Bug ID: 373021
Summary: baloo does inefficient access to db
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.28.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I have a rather large data partition to be indexed by baloo (~100k pdf files).
I noticed, that the index speed goes down the larger the db becomes. At the
same time, IO goes up.
I recreated the db in a single partition and started indexing. About half of
these files are index now (db size is 3.5 GB). The disk stats says 195916328
sectors written, which is about 1 TB (and yes, this is an old 128 MB ssd!).
It looks like, everytime baloo updates the db, the whole thing is written again
- making it very slow... and dangerous regarding the wear leveling of flash
disks.
I'm about to stop indexing because it behaves like a ssd killer. Even for old
style hard disks, the IO is so heavy after some point, that you have to stop
it.
