Hi
I've been slow in the system for some time. After some tests, I found that the baloo_file_extractor process consumes about 25% of all processing. I do not think that's normal. Has anyone else gone through this? Any explanation or tip for correction?
See the difference in the chart before and after I close the process baloo_file_extractor
gravitacoes Hi,
Baloo has the tendency to have an odd behaviour when trying to index files unreachable (extrict file permission) or an unbearable amount of dirs to index.
Can you post an screenshot from kinfocenter on the tab "File index monitor"/"Monitor del indexador de archivos" to see if it gets stuck with some dir? and then go into System Setting -> Search -> File Search and add the path from the problematic dir/file.
Edit:
He encontrado archivos problemáticos, como se puede ver en la imagen.
He inhabilitado la búsqueda de archivos, probado y consumo de CPU era normal. Me volví de nuevo y parece que contunua normal. Extraña.
Voy a continuar la vigilancia.
Gracias por mostrar el camino!
gravitacoes When you disable FIle searching, the process related to baloo stops searching in background for added/deleted files, so when you re-enable the feature probably baloo will begin to index again until hits with some dir/file unreachable and provoke a sudden CPU spike.
You can push the button "Suspend" that appears on your screenshot to stop the indexing process temporarly, or disable it on System Settings in case it becomes hard to find all the dirs to ignore

It was exactly what happened.
When I began indexing my Calibre library, which contains more than 5000 e-books, the process has greatly increased.
I deactivated a file search. It's a feature I rarely use.
Thank you so much, I learned a lot!
The count is not a big problem of file extractor, but file size. Can you tell biggest file sizes of you ebook collection?
Merry Christmas
Few files are large. The largest has 43 MB, 20 files between 30 and 10 MB. But the vast majority are less than 3 MB. In a universe of 5000 files I consider it within the acceptable.
Merry Christmas for you too!
