le the annoying document indexer that keeps crawling my drives. Anybody have any insight into why this is missing from F27, or a workaround to effectively disable the thing?
I fixed it with these commands
mkdir ~/.config/autostart
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker* ~/.config/autostart
cd ~/.config/autostart
sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' tracker*
Reboot.
Then check tracker status: tracker status
Make a clean of the old database with: tracker reset --hard
