Comment 0 for bug 911981

I recently noticed that several tracker related programs were using 100% cpu on my system and in particular tracker-store filled up completely all the available disk space in my home partition.

I rerun tracker-preferences to make sure that indexing would not proceed if less than 20% of free space is available, but it seems that tracker-store ignores it. After I noticed that I had left only 44Kb free on the home partition, I deleted the cache from another program and I noticed that tracker-store filled up again the disk space that I freed few minutes before.

This is the content of my .cache/tracker/ directory:

and this is how much space I have left on my home partition after I KILLED the tracker-store process:
/dev/sda8 31G 30G 418M 99% /home
