Description Han-Wen Nienhuys 2006-09-11 08:40:07 UTC
Hi,

Beagled is running on startup. FOr reasons I don't understand, beagle grows in
memory enormously while indexing the large Thunderbird Imap cache files. I
usually kill it when it reaches 750m, and my 1gb machine starts trashing

Note that I disabled indexing this directory, but Beagle does not take notice. 
I'm filing a separate bug for that. 

[hanwen@haring ~]$ rpm -q beagle
beagle-0.2.9-1.fc6

Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2006-09-12 08:00:51 UTC
I filed the bug upstream to get the beagle maintainers to see this too:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355549

Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2006-09-13 08:47:15 UTC
So, beagled (BeagleDaemon.exe) is the one growing, not beagled-helper
(IndexHelper.exe)?

Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2006-09-13 11:02:43 UTC
I'm seeing this too, see upstream bug report. 
The thunderbird indexer just doesn't seem ready for public consumption, so i'm
disabling it for now.

I'll keep this bug around to remember to turn it on again.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2006-09-13 11:57:53 UTC
beagle-0.2.9-4.fc6 has thunderbird disabled.


Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2007-04-09 22:04:35 UTC
Turning it back on would probably count as a feature freeze break at this point

Comment 7 Sachin Garg 2008-01-31 22:14:34 UTC
Can we enable thunderbird support on 3.2.0 version which will be released with fc9

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 02:20:52 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 9 Adel Gadllah 2009-02-21 16:08:04 UTC
Thunderbird support has been enabled for a while.
