avery, the scan is to get all folders to put inotify watches on them
if you have a huge number of directories (10,000+) then it will take several minutes to get all subdirs the index delay setting in seconds in the preferences determines when this scan happens so you could set this to a very high value for the general case I suppose if the number of directories is large then we could sleep a bit whilst retrieving them to give disk IO to other apps. trackerd runs with disk IO scheduled (best effort 7) so it should give priority to other apps but perhaps that does not work so well in this case? -- [gutsy] trackerd kills disk io https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131983 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
