As of 1/6/2017, this has somewhat improved Tracker recurses but: - without a reset only finds 90% of content - with a reset, does not find everything anyway
1. Tracker still only finds 90% unless it is reset. So, reset like: tracker reset --hard <<<y && tracker daemon --start && tracker daemon --list-processes && tracker daemon --follow 1b.Optionally, in a second window you can see file-by-file progress like: tracker daemon --watch 2. Sometimes Extractor does not start: when File System reaches Idle, Extractor should start within 2 s. If it does not, go back to 1. If it fails again, you are unlucky. - Extractor may take long time like hours to complete, but provides progress every 10 minutes. 3. Whatever you have now is the best you are going to get. There are some amount less than 10% of content that tracker is not going to find. to see how many folders tracker found: tracker status --stat | grep Folder nfo:Folder = 1646 dpkg --status tracker | egrep "(V|Pa)"Package: tracker Version: 1.10.0-1ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tracker in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644651 Title: tracker file system miner misses most files on Ubuntu 16.10 Status in tracker package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This still works for Ubuntu 16.04 tracker 1.6.2-0ubuntu1.1 On Ubuntu 16.10 tracker mining of the file system stops mid-way, most folders are not re-cursed into. - for a test system with 1 or 2 folders, it looks to be working REPRO Log in and start a terminal window 1.
