Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2010-02-22 12:09:11 UTC
Clone of: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542394


Package: beagle
Version: 0.3.9-3
Severity: normal

beagle-settings, in its main window, has a checkbox "Start search &
indexing services automatically".

If I deactivate this option, I expect that beagled shouldn't do indexing
even when the daemon is running. But that isn't the case. With the above
mentioned option unchecked, I noticed that beagled still does a lot of
read (basically indexing). You can verify that if you enable the
block_dump.

Since beagled can be a performance hogger at many times, I'd like to
set it up in a way that it be used only on a need be basis.

Ultimate goal is something like this:
* Run beagled all the time because beagle-search needs it to query. But
  beagled should remain idle i.e. No Indexing.
* Have a cron job to run "beagle-build-index" at 2 AM every day when the
  machine is idle.

I think the checkbox option is for what I'm stating in this bug report.
But from what I've checked, it doesn't seem to be Not Indexing when
beagled is running.


Regards,
Ritesh
