Steps to reproduce: 1. $ git clone https://github.com/Antergos/Cnchi.git 2. logout/login 3. $ balooctl status 4. $ top 5 $ rm -rf Cnchi 6. $ rm -rf ~/.local/share/baloo/ 7. logout/login 8. $ balooctl status I left my computer with only 3GB of RAM running over night after cloning a repo. In the morning it was thrashing swap so hard, it was nearly impossible to use. Adding the repo to the "Do not Search List" was a temp. workaround. There must be a memory leak in baloo_file_extractor, because it was taking up nearly all of my systems RAM. It also uses 100% of CPU time. $ uname -a Linux arch 4.8.13-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 9 07:43:17 CET 2016 i686 GNU/Linux
Almost certainly fixed by https://cgit.kde.org/baloo.git/commit/?id=7529727e46242d2fdd71c4e8c92363600373fcb6 in KDE Frameworks 5.47. If you can still reproduce the issue with KDE Frameworks 5.47 (or preferably 5.52 or later), please re-open the bug. Thanks!
