Bug ID: 502395
Summary: baloo file indexing on NFS share slows severly down
file server
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_baloo
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: b...@clearingstelle-eeg-kwkg.de
CC: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
a user in our company activated the baloo file search with file indexing of a
nfs3 share in KDE systemsettings.
as the nfs3 share on SLES15SP6 is 500GB big and has many files, the network and
the file server was slowed down severely and all users could barely work as
their homes folders are also nfs shares.
as we killed the baloo_file_extractor and the whole baloo-process, everything
was back to normal.
As a recommendation, there could be a checkbox or warning with "indexing over
network".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. activate in systemsettings file search with file indexing on a big NFS
share.
2. wait until indexing starts
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
the NFS server is severely slowed down
EXPECTED RESULT
the network and the file server should have low impact. As a recommendation,
there could be a checkbox or warning with in systemsettings-search: "indexing
over network".
