Suddenly after a reboot I find between 50-60% of my CPU used. I load process manager and find tracker-store and tracker-extract being the main culprits, with spikes of 90% of cpu usage.

This is a dual-core AMD Opteron server with 2 gigs of RAM.


Who' s the genius who thought this would be acceptable? and how do I tame these processes not to use more than 10% of cpu without uninstalling the whole shebang? (provided those actually serve a useful purpose that I'm not aware of).


Thanks in advance

In my case tracker-store acts like a fork bomb! After fresh boot I
shortly have a lot (about 50-100) defunct tracker-store and
tracker-extract processes each consuming about 5 MB of memory. I
have to manually kill them or I'm unable to launch any app form
Gnome Shell. yum remove is not an option because of dependencies. I
confirm this behavior on 64 bit box with Fedora 17, on 32 bit Fedora
17 all is fine.



I'm glad, I'm not alone with this problem.

Have you reported these via bugzilla? It's interesting that it's only
on the 64-bit architecture that this is an issue.

Hi Rick,

No I didn't, because I don't even know if this is a bug or the way it's supposed to work. In fact, I don't even know what these processes do.


What I'm certain is that now my system shows 40-45% cpu usage while "idle", and it didn't do that before the last yum update.

For the record, I'm running the 32-bit edition of F17, even while the cpu is 64bit.

As far as I know tracker is a very capable and configurable desktop
search service originating as an XFCE app. I think this is just a bug
that needs to be reported.

Now CPU usage went down to 10%. (I was away having lunch and just returned)

In any case, nothing that beesu yum remove tracker can't fix.

First, I want to make sure it is a bug, then I'd like to know more about
what this app does and how. I was also searching bugzilla for related
reports but it looks like there is no such error report so I'll probably
fill in new report. I just need to gather more info abut this problem.
Is this problem only noticed by Fernando and Me or there are other
people on the list suffering?

Tracker is started in your session startup, not via systemctl and you
can disable it if you want. In my case, I have it start in my session.
I am running 64-bit F17 using XFCE and have no issues with it (tracker
version 0.12.10). If I want to disable it I'd go to

Applications->Settings->Settings Manager->Session and Startup

select the "Application Autostart" tab and uncheck the tracker-related
items.

Again, I have no issues and I'm running 64-bit F17 on four machines.

Just throwing a thought out: On ye olde Fedora, it would run a
makewhatis run once a day, usually scheduled in the wee hours of the
morning, where it shouldn't be a problem to users. For systems running
continuously, that made sense, and worked well. But for systems that
are only booted up from time to time, and not left running 24/7. You
had one of two problems: The morning run never run. Or, the scan could
be done once a day whenever you did have the computer running, and some
computers did get bogged down during its scan.

Has this tracker taken the second approach? And would trying the
"morning scan" approach sidestep the issue?
