Here is a response from one of the upstream developers, can you please response here or on the upstream bug? --- Comment #1 from Jürg Billeter <j> 2011-09-27 15:59:06 UTC --- I haven't seen the WAL file ever grow that big. However, it can theoretically happen if active readers block SQLite checkpointing. I've pushed a commit to master that advises SQLite to shrink the WAL file to 10 MB as soon as possible. It does not prevent a temporarily larger WAL file, though, as SQLite does not support that. You're welcome to try whether this commit (11443fd) fixes the issue for you. During step 2 "Wait" are you using tracker in any way besides the indexing in the background (e.g., via tracker-search-tool or nautilus)? What directories did you configure to index? Do you have a huge data set? Testing this with a more recent Tracker version such as the one available in Fedora 16 might help. Not using tracker besides the default background indexing when this occurs. Just using the default storage locations in home/<my username> also. Dataset is 22463 MB, tracker consumes all of the remaining 25372 MB and tracker-store eventually exits. PLease note that a lot of the data is in large files like imap folders and svn folders, not sure about the first but svn folders should be ignored by default config. Will try the tracker from F16 to see if that helps. Installed tracker-0.12.0-3 from rawhide (via rpmbuild --rebuild to prevent dependency hell and without the thunderbird miner to make it build), problem remains Can you please test the F15 build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3385386 ? $ rpm -q tracker tracker-0.12.3-1.fc15.x86_64 Same problem This issue has been fixed upstream in tracker-0.10.30 and tracker-0.12.24. Can you please test the updated Fedora packages (tracker-0.10.30-1.fc15)? Problem seems solved now, thank you! Problem has reappeared lately, that is .cache/tracker/meta.db-wal consumes all free diskspace after a while. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
