Bug#1016745: tracker-miner-fs: at 100% CPU activity for long minutes

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: tracker-miner-fs
Version: 3.3.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am facing something very similar to the following:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker/-/issues/373

What can I do to see what is going on?

Trying:
$ tracker status
but without success, the command was blocked maybe
until the tracker-miner-fs finished.

Its removal is also not possible as Nautilus depends on it.
So I just tried to mask its .service

Note that login into a text console (tty) starts also some services
among which is the tracker-miner-fs one.

Thanks,
Patrice
