Comment 10 for bug 1993557

Sebastien,

Sorry, haven't had time to pursue this recently... A little more searching led me to this question:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/346211/tracker-store-and-tracker-miner-fs-eating-up-my-cpu-on-every-startup

What I see appears completely similar. The syslog gets huge, filled with messages such as:
(tracker-miner-fs-3:7665): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 22:26:55.266: g_file_equal: assertion 'G_IS_FILE (file1)' failed

Following the discussion at
https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/tracker/faq/#how-can-i-disable-tracker-in-gnome
I have executed
systemctl mask --user --now tracker-miner-fs-3.service

This seems to have solved my problem: syslog has stopped filling my hard drive, and the nautilus search in Files is back to normal functioning.
I don't know what I may be missing without tracker-miner, though.

Thanks again for your help - let me know if trying to get further debug information could be useful.
