By default tracker doesn't index all of /home/*, it indexes /home/{your
homedir}. If it is indexing outside of your home directory, please log

(Ubuntu Linux), can clash with desktop scalability. IMHO tracker should
either be turned off by default or there should be a well documented
simple method for disabling it.
In the meantime, you might want to try these instructions:
