I've done a fresh gutsy install (tribe 5 + immediately updating) with a new home directory too (i wanted to split my / /home and /usr/local partitions anyway, so it seemed like a good time) and i dont seem to be having any problems now.
In response to Jamie, the files in .cache/tracker were around 100-200megs each, as opposed to gigs. The only difference i know for certain between a fresh install and what i had however, was that i did have a n extensive wine directory before (although it was marked as not to be indexed) I'll leave the bug open for the next few days, and post some more info based on jamie's hints for debugging. If it doesn't reappear ill close the bug off then. -- 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
