Tom, 0.6.2 has a bug that leaks memory so I guess check rss of trackerd with top.
If free memory is in short supply the kernel will have a hard time caching updates to disk. To debug iowait state run vmstat 1 the last column wa shows the percent of cpu waiting for IO. If its consistently above 90% then thats very bad and will account for severe loss of desktop responsiveness If memory is not an issue then its likely a kernel issue or the index files (file-index.db and email-index.db) in $HOME/.cache/tracker are > 1gb in size (sqlite is only scalable up to about a GB or so) -- tracker causing very high disk useage/thrashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135115 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
