Just upgraded and the tracker-miner process is taking a constant cpu load of about 15%, and iotop shows a constant disk write that varies between 2 and 11 M/s.

It has been like this for a couple hours and shows no signs of stopping. Is this some expected behavior? Can I disable it? i'm worried about affecting my ssd lifespan.

Its been 6 years since I tackled this so i forget. but from command prompt you can start by checking status of tracker miner service then trying stop /start. There are also tracker miner commands to pause, refresh cache, monitor etc. so you would have to lookup what those are. it could even be a permission issue, or version issue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
