Bug Description
Binary package hint: tracker
Tracker by default indexes the user's home directory. Unfortunately this also includes any directory trees mounted into the user's home directory.
In my case I had used sshfs to make my home directory on a remote server accessible. Tracker then went on and tried to index this directory tree.
This is obviously problematic because it produces incredible amounts of traffic and since tracker will take a long time to finish the sshfs also cannot be unmounted easily.
My suggestion is that tracker should not index any mounted directories by default.

Unless We can tell what directories are fuse mounted we cant fix this but as I mentioned upstream, use of NoWatchDirectories in tracker.cfg can be used to ignore specific directory trees
