Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tracker
I was working normally on my computer and I started feeling it sluggish.
Firefox was going gray (not responding) intermitently and I did not
have many tabs opened. It seemed to go worse, and I closed all the
applications I had opened but it was still all very slow. At that time I
had 9gb of free space (of 80gb), and I emptied the trash(9gb more) to
see if it improved, but I did not seem to improve.
Using top I could not see any process using much CPU or memory. However
I saw that the hard drive was doing a lot of IO operations (377tbs on
iostat using a 7200 portable hard drive). Using iotop I could see that
tracker was using the most part of the IO activity.
PID USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND
26144 xxxxx 1275.90 K/s 0 B/s 0.00 % 0.00 % tracker-extract
3875 xxxxx 0 B/s 311.56 K/s 0.00 % 0.00 % tracker-indexer
I reckon that tracker should not be that agressive, since it is supposed
to not affect normal activity.
