tracker-process consuming all memory
asked 2014-08-05 13:36:56 +0300
I noticed my battery was running out very fast (~20% per hour). Looking at top/lighthouse, tracker-store was consuming 50-100% CPU. Per some instructions here, I run tracker-control -se to reset it.
During metadata extraction (as indicated by tracker-control), tracker-store ended up consuming >50% of memory, and tracker-extract >11%. This caused the phone to freeze and reboot. After a number of reboots, apparently tracker metadata extraction completed.
Not sure what exactly triggers this behavior or whether it's reproducible. There are a number of EPUB and text files on the SD card.
This might be a related issue:

Also I can confirm a number of EPUBs being on the card, so even the cause might be similar.
