I've noted elsewhere about excessive disk activity with both MC32 and MC33 for Linux. It is this machine, because a similar laptop set up does not exhibit this issue. Logging is turned off, and no automatic import, background or otherwise.
Asking chatGPT gave me some suggestions, and using iotop -o, found no instances of mediacenter and no real disk activity at all, so why the drive light being on almost constantly? When I close MC33, it goes out.
One thing mentioned is media center triggering the Linux file indexing. It was suggested to turn off those services if indexing is not needed. Maybe not, searches would be longer, I guess, I've done that on Windows.
I don't know if someone else found this, a search though the boards does not bring up a result. Outside of reloading the OS, is there any else I can try? I created a log file and wrapped for submittal.
System:
ASUS X470-Pro
Ryzen 5
64 GB RAM
Xubuntu 24 LTS on 500 GB nvme drive, 268 GiB free
Windows 11 on separate nvme drive and not mounted at boot.
Media on 6TB drive mounted at boot
3 TB backup drive mounted at boot
It's just odd that this machine and OS has this issue, the Windows install on this machine is fine. ?
running systemctl --user stop tracker-miner-fs returns "Failed to stop tracker-miner-fs.service: Unit tracker-miner-fs.service not loaded."
running sudo systemctl stop updatedb.timer returns "Failed to stop updatedb.timer: Unit updatedb.timer not loaded"
curiouser and couriouser ?
logs attached.
