Bug ID: 490928
Summary: Baloo constantly writing to disk
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: robakjos...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Baloo randomly started writing 200 MB/s to my SSD constantly. I needed to turn
off file indexing and then kill the process in order to stop it. It ended up
writing 5-6 TB to my disk in a short amount of time (<1 day). My entire /
partition including home folder is less than 100 GB so it should not be
indexing that much. I believe it might have triggered after I woke my system
from sleep/suspend. Perhaps it was indexing when I set it to sleep/suspend, and
waking it caused Baloo to bug out. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to
reproduce this issue since I only had this issue just yesterday, but I still
think it is worth reporting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use openSUSE Tumbleweed with the latest snapshot
2. Make sure file indexing is enabled with file names only and "hidden files
and folders" box checked (system settings>search>file search>file indexing)
3. Wait (or manually start indexing and set system to sleep and wake it up
afterwards)
OBSERVED RESULT
Baloo constantly writes to the disk without end.
EXPECTED RESULT
Baloo writes to the disk for a limited duration before going idle.
