Bug ID: 417070 Summary: KRunner makes excessive writes during searching. Product: krunner Version: 5.14.5 Platform: Debian testing OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de Reporter: ha...@bayindir.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 125623 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=125623&action=edit One day of iotop statistics, running in cumulative mode, sorted by disk write. SUMMARY KRunner can write ~2.2GB of data to disk in a couple of searches. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Call KRunner with its shortcut. 2. Write something. OBSERVED RESULT KRunner makes a lot of disk calls and writes a lot of data, genrally to .cache folder. This wears down SSD disks pretty fast. EXPECTED RESULT A more milder disk access pattern (mostly reads, much less write) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Testing. (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION System I/O is monitored via fatrace and iotop. When running fatrace with -cC krunner --filter=CWD in the home directory of the user, the effects of triggering a search is becomes very visible. Keeping iotop open for a single day in accumulation mode and ordered by disk write reveals pretty shocking write statistics for a couple of KDE processes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
