Description of problem: Beagle is indexing my home directory for three days now and still has not build a complete index. If i'm working at the system beagle gets out of the way and uses nearly no CPU time wich is fine with me. If the system is inactive beagle starts to use 100% CPU. If i call beagle-status i seen beagle crawling files, still the reported Number of indexed file shown by beagle-index-status stays the same. beagle-query still does not find files a simple grep -r turns up. I only searched for complete words. It looks as if whole subtrees of the directory structure are still unindex. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beagle-0.2.3-4 libbeagle-0.2.3-4 How reproducible: Alway. I have stopped beagled, removed the index files (complete .beagle directory) and restarted. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start beagled 2. wait for a long time :) 3. Actual results: Incomplete index. Still not all files found with beagle-query. Expected results: Complete index. Additional info: I updated FC4 to FC5 and installed the beagle RPMs. beagled ist started from gnome-session, since the checkbox in seach preferences seem non functional (as described in another bug). My home directory is ~3BG of data containing 24567 directories and 143064 data files. The whole thing is running on an Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop with a 2GH Pentium 4 Mobile und 1GB of RAM. Curently .beagle is a whopping 578 MB, 158 MB Indexes und 420 MB TextCache.
Similar but less severe problem on initial install of FC5 from CD/DVD media method. 1.8GHz Mobile P4, 768MB DDR, 5200 RPM Disk. Also builds quite slow on a 2.4GHz Celeron with 512MB PC-3200 and a 7200 RPM Disk. Inefficient indexing method, slower then running a bunch of finds on / at once. Needs some optimization, especially regarding CPU usage while building indexes.
Is this still happening with the 0.26 updates in FC5?
I tried it again with beagle 0.2.6-1.fc5. Beagle is running for 24 hours now. Indexing is still not finished. .beagle is currently 574MB. Beagle does not eat all my CPU when the system is inactive as before, but indexing doesn't look faster to me. I started beagle from the commandline this time and noticed the following: ** Message: Unknown errno: Too many levels of symbolic links inotify_add_watch: No space left on device Maximum watch limit hit. Try adjusting /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches. The inotify thing goes away if i raise the per user limit to 32000 and restart beagled, perhaps this default should be higher. Here is the current output from beagle-status, Scheduler count is a bit low because i restarted beagle due to the inotify roblem: Scheduler: Count: 14247 Status: Waiting for next task. Pending Tasks: 1 Delayed 0 (8/15/2006 2:09:34 PM) Tree Crawler Pending directories: 1721 2 Delayed 0 (8/15/2006 2:09:36 PM) Crawling /home/<path to file erased> 3 Maintenance 100 (8/15/2006 2:09:34 PM) Final Flush for FileSystemIndex Future Tasks: Maintenance 0 (8/15/2006 2:09:36 PM) Optimize FileSystemIndex Hold until 8/15/2006 2:19:36 PM
After an additional 24 hour beagle has finished building the index. .beagle is now 624MB
Beagle 0.2.8-2 has a fix that is supposed to speed up indexing. Its only in rawhide unfortunately.
