Its the XXXXXXX.tmp directory that seem to be filling up... They have .tmp files in the directory.
or the tracker-extract-files is also an unknown.
What is that? how do I stop it ?
It's where tracker extracts files.
Google for "centos7 tracker disable"
I suspect the lu*.tmp directories are from when tracker uses LO to extract and index documents.
If you don't use, or want to use, tracker, then disable tracker.
P.
Hmm. was unaware of tracker-etc. what are these indexes used for? I can't think of anything I do on the system that would need to know all bout some arbitrary file somewhere on the filesysystem, so why would this be useful?
thanks in advance!
