Just upgraded and the tracker-miner process is taking a constant cpu load of about 15%, and iotop shows a constant disk write that varies between 2 and 11 M/s.
It has been like this for a couple hours and shows no signs of stopping. Is this some expected behavior? Can I disable it? i’m worried about affecting my ssd lifespan.
Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I’m not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I’d say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.
