Timeout on 1 file during extraction causes 10 to fail
Last modified: 2010-02-25 13:55:32 UTC
My tracker-miner-fs log often has messages of the style: 04 Feb 2010, 16:56:25: Tracker-Critical **: Could not process 'file:///home/hunzikea/Uni/M%C3%A9thodes%20mathematiques%20de%20la%20physique.pdf': Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) appear in bunches of 10. It turns out that if extraction of metadata takes a long time for a single file among 10, that will result in all of them failing to be indexed.
The 10 you get are because of this code: return g_object_new (TRACKER_TYPE_MINER_FILES, "name", "Files", "config", config, "process-pool-limit", 10, NULL); The 10 there is the reason for this. We will be working on a fix soon.
Carlos committed a fix for this and it should be in today's release of 0.7.22.
