Description of problem: Suddenly gnome-documents start consuming a lot of IO with only firefox+google chrome+xchat+guake opened. It occur every day. And because of that my notebook stay very slow.

For 4 weeks I am trying do identify which steps produce this behavior. Steps to Reproduce: No Steps to stop: pkill nautilus (I did not open nautilus) How I saw IO usage: iotop -a 22463 be/4 francisc 302.93 M 0.00 B 0.00 % 99.57 % gjs /usr/bin/gnome-documents --gapplication-service [pool] 22462 be/4 francisc 517.04 M 0.00 B 0.00 % 96.11 % nautilus --gapplication-service This consume is about 3 minutes. Additional info: I can show any other log that you want. I did not have any other problem or error in journalctl. My fedora 24 is a fedora 23 updated.

It might show what they are doing.
After first problem in current boot I did pkill gnome-documents and nautilus to stop the problem. When I received your email asking about gstack, I read the gstack man and did some gstack commands in some process. Then I decided reboot my notebook to see the problem again, but before that I tried to open and close nautilus. After that gnome-documents started use a lot of IO. Then I did gstack commands: #ps aux | egrep -i nautilus francis+ 26062 8.2 0.3 954468 22576 ? Sl 16:24 0:10 /usr/bin/nautilus --gapplication-service francis+ 26218 0.0 0.0 118496 812 pts/3 S+ 16:26 0:00 grep -E --color=auto -i nautilus #gstack 26062 [francisco@localhost ~]$ ps aux | egrep -i gnome-documents francis+ 26060 0.5 0.3 1043132 19608 ?

I did a lot of ctrl+c for both commands and I can not cancel them. Then I did pkill for both and tried other process: #ps aux | egrep -i xchat francis+ 26089 0.0 0.3 389620 19512 tty2 S+ 16:24 0:00 xchat francis+ 26511 0.0 0.0 118496 900 pts/4 S+ 16:36 0:00 grep -E --color=auto -i xchat #gstack 26089 #0 0x00007fdb149143d0 in __poll_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007fdb10941a46 in g_main_context_iterate.isra () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #2 0x00007fdb10941dd2 in g_main_loop_run () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00007fdb13ebcc0a in gtk_main () from /lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #4 0x000000000041b6a9 in fe_main () #5 0x0000000000411cd8 in main () # Worked for xchat process.
About "I think nautilus got started when you were typing in the gnome-shell overview." I tried (after did pkill gnome-documents and nautilus) and have no problem. Then I did reboot and opened GNOME shell to open guake. The problem started. And yes, I have a lot of file in my home (a lot of chroots, gits etc). You found the bug :)
Do you happen to have your git trees inside ~/Documents or something similar? Basically any of the places that are indexed for searching. Go to Settings -> Search -> < gear menu > ... for a list of the locations.
All my gits are under /home/myuser/gits/*. All my chroots are under /home/myuser/*. In Document I have few files.
Temporary I disabled Documents search documents in: Settings > Search > Documents
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
