Public bug reported:
Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.6.3-0ubuntu3
Trackerd seems to have a memory leak, I found this creating & deleting
about 85 small (0-2k) temporary text files every minute. After 30
minutes the process was running at half speed, after 4 hours the process
had virtually stopped and 'top' showed trackerd to have used up all of
the physical memory and 77% of the swap. I switched off trackerd,
rebooted and restarted the process, it has been running for a week since
with no memory increase or performance degradation.
Even if it worked perfectly trackerd should be OFF by default, as a DBA
I know that you do not add indexes that impact the system performance
unless there is a compelling reason, and the service provided by
trackerd isn't. It is pointless on an 'ordinary' desktop with a small
number of files in $HOME and there are better tools for searching large
numbers of files.
