Description lovesh 2014-11-04 15:49:07 UTC 
I am on kubuntu 14.10 with kde plasma 5 and a process with name `baloo_file_extr` takes too much cpu. Manytimes it goes to 100%.  Also processes like `udisksd` and `dbus-daemon` take 8-10% cpu all the time, even when the system is idle

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jonathan Riddell 2014-11-04 15:54:31 UTC 
Kubuntu 14.10 already sets any rotation disks to CFQ scheduler

The reporter, lovesh, is using a rotational disk but it is correctly set to use CFQ:
 ls /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler; cat /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler
  /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
  noop deadline [cfq]

I also find baloo taking up large amounts of resources but it's hard to debug because the system is largely siesed up and I can't do anything except reboot.

Hi.

Could you please try to follow the guide over here - https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Debugging#baloo_file_extractor and try to diagnose which are the problematic files.

Since every users system is so different and it depends on those specific files, it is very hard for us to diagnose what is going wrong.

Hi
I removed kubuntu about 2 weeks ago so i cannot run those commands.
Thanks

Marking bug as INVALID as without extra information there isn't much we can do.
