Disk space required is hard to estimate AFter indexing is finished the hashtable is optimised (which means its copied temporarily into a fresh one to eliminate fragmentation)
after fragmentation is eliminated size is typically 5-10% of unfragmented (depends on amount of fragmentation) of disk its approx 10%-20% of indexable content (eg text files, source files, docs etc). Images, audio, binary and Video files have virtually no effect oin size of index we are replacing the hashtable with sqlite which does not suffer fragmentation issues and who's databases have a lot smaller foot print on disk (slower search speed but more scalable when indexing) we hope to have these improvements in time for tribe 5 -- Tracker takes very long time to index system, provides no obvious status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
