After the last upgrade on:



 Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-686-pae
Architecture: x86


/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-store eats a huge load of CPU.

When I run tracker daemon I get:



Miners:

17 Nov 2018, 21:17:06: ? Applications - Not running or is a disabled plugin

I thought I disabled all tracker activities, what is it doing?



The fan is going like crazy and a reboot does not help...

          tracker-store is part of tracker, a program that scans certain specified locations on your hard drive (and other places like your emails) and indexes the contents into a database. This allows you to do fast file contents searches. Whereas, tracker-miner-* are programs that scan data and tracker-store is the program that stores the metadata in a database for fast access later. Tracker uses a database for its own purposes, so it makes sense that it can use your CPU even when you are not dealing with process.



          You could also configure tracker to index nothing (see program tracker-preferences), thereby probably stopping it from doing any work at all. Or you could try removing the package entirely, but, this might break your system. And also check this post How do I disable tracker in GNOME?.

          • thanks for the link, I thought I disabled it completely, so it seems I only disabled the miners. What is not clear to me is that it has to be done at some point, but it runs almost 100% the whole time. I'm actually rather guessing it is some kind of bug.
