I'm using Hardy. I tried to set the indexing to not do anything, but it
wouldn't stop. I removed trackerd because it kept self-activating and
consuming all my memory just today. It's also very difficult to kill the
process. I've never seen a process on GNU/Linux which was so resilient
and difficult to kill. I suppose it's because trackerd uses all
available memory and CPU, so the instruction to end process or kill
process gets a lower priority than trackerd. It brought me back to the
bad old days of using Windows, when one process bogs down your whole
machine and it refuses to die when you try to end it. I just don't know
how trackerd got into the repositories. I don't mean to sound rude, but
that thing has brought many computers to a crawl and you have to hunt it
down to find it.
