Bug 288825

Version:           4.8 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

nepomukservicestub spammed my .xsession-errors file and filled my partition (about 20GB) overnight, with message:

   [/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub] (process:8778): GLib-WARNING **: poll(2) failed due to: Invalid argument.

and same message dropping the prefix of "
[/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub]", so:

   (process:8778): GLib-WARNING **: poll(2) failed due to: Invalid argument.

I had desktop query configured with all subfolders of root checked (that it allowed me to check) and option to index "all removable media" selected.

When my partition filled up, I thought maybe the index database had become too large, but instead found this massive .xsession-errors log file.

Version:  this is whatever version of kde and nepomuk/strigi are included in latest release of kubuntu, amd64 (downloaded and installed a couple days ago).  I'm logged into a different ubuntu partition and I don't know how to check the versions, so the versions I entered are guesses.

It would be a good idea to provide instructions or link to instruction on how to get version info next tot hose entries in the bug report web form.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure how easily I can "reproduce".  I have desktop query configure for entire filesystem and "all removable media".  Not sure if that is the cause of the problem.

I also happened to run a couple different searches in dolphin (starting from root (/)) and left those search windows open overnite.  That's all I can think of at the moment.

Actual Results:  
.xession-errors gets spammed.

Expected Results:  
not to have partition filled up with error log.

I am calling the severity a "crash" because once drive fills up unexpectedly, system is so slow as to be effectively "crashed" (requiring hard reboot).  It is at least "major" since such situation could easily cause data-loss.
