I'm seeing this problem with tracker 0.6.3-0ubuntu3 on a freshly-updated gutsy install as well.
in my case, the logs are filled with: 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:732 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:732 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:736 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:737 - ERROR: unknown service Applications 30 Oct 2007, 17:43:19:738 - ERROR: unknown service Applications it rapidly exhausts the couple hundred megs left free in /home/ on one machine, and i need to kill it and clean it up for the machine to work properly: killall trackerd > ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log Seems like there are several problems here: * writing the same error message every thousandth of a second is bad policy -- what about "last message repeated N times", the way debian's sysklogd package does it? * allowing the log to grow to arbitrary size is also bad policy -- what about piping it through something sensible like svlogd from the runit suite? * running "trackerd --reindex" just spews the same error messages to the console, so that doesn't seem to help.
