Tracker3 (tracker-miner-fs-3) Constantly Running

Ask Fedora

/usr/libexec/tracker-miner-fs-3 is unendingly running and at the top of my resource (CPU) usage at every boot. I’ve tried to find what the problem is online, but the only things I see are how to disable it completely. I do not want to disable it completely. I want it to work as intended without making my laptop go brrrrrrrrrr.

Some Output Error

Again, can’t find much info online about this stuff.

tracker3 daemon -f

Hi - not an expert but one thought, have you tried resetting the tracker database? (Idea sourced from here)

tracker reset --hard
tracker daemon --start

That helped me out in a somewhat similar situation a while back.
