Ok, happened again. Trackerd is now at 100% CPU: 1889 romano 36 16 61164 15m 4188 R 100 0.4 45:12.05 trackerd
Two hours ago, after a change in a file made by my local dovecot server, decided to go into pause mode but using 100% CPU. The last messages on the log where: 22 Sep 2010, 14:48:27: Tracker: Received monitor event:8->'IN_CLOSE_WRITE | IN_C LOSE*' for file:'/home/romano/lib/Mail/VRISCU' (cookie:0) 22 Sep 2010, 14:48:29: Tracker: We are paused, sending nothing to the index unti l we are unpaused 22 Sep 2010, 14:48:31: Tracker: We are paused, sending nothing to the index unti l we are unpaused Notice, I was not even seated at the PC. It went to pause mode alone. The log message is repeated every 2 seconds (why?). If I right click on the applet, the "pause all indexing" is unticked. I ticked it: 22 Sep 2010, 15:30:53: Tracker: We are paused, sending nothing to the index unti l we are unpaused 22 Sep 2010, 15:30:54: Tracker: <--- [123] DBus request to set daemon boolean op tion, key:'Pause', value:true 22 Sep 2010, 15:30:54: Tracker: New DBus request, not pausing indexer, already i n paused state 22 Sep 2010, 15:30:54: Tracker: ---> [123] Success, no error given Still 100% CPU, still the same message every 2 seconds. Now I untick the "pause all indexing" again: 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: <--- [124] DBus request to set daemon boolean option, key:'Pause', value:false 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: New DBus request, not pausing indexer, already in paused state 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: ---> [124] Success, no error given 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: Finished crawling files in 1996.0914 seconds 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: Found 1521 directories, ignored 119 directories 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: Found 29729 files, ignored 613 files 22 Sep 2010, 15:32:04: Tracker: Received monitor event:4->'IN_ATTRIB' for file:'/home/romano/management/viajes/nantes10/SSSUP S.Anna.doc' (cookie:0) ...and then a lot of more data, apparently receiving all signals/events that were missed when in the "nasty paused" state. Now CPU utilization is normal. I can attach/send the full log if someone is interested. >From past experiences, now trackerd will behave during hours/days. Then it will fall again in the "bogus paused" state and start using 100% CPU. At the same time, .xsession-erros has growth to unbearable size (2G +) with the message: Tracker-Message: Received monitor event:2->'IN_MODIFY' for file:'/home/romano/.xsession-errors' (cookie:0) repeated over and over.
