Baloo performance

[Mark Dixon]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with Baloo again. I'm not sure exactly what the
requirements are for it, but I must be doing something wrong. It
essentially renders the system unusable.

I finally caught it in this state - CPU is minimal, and memory isn't too
bad (for this box) - baloo_file was using 1.5G. What surprised me was the
output of lsof:

baloo_fil  1808       mark *881r    VREG     110,3406168081

6214     44011 /usr/home/mark/cudaminer/CudaMiner/compat/jansson/hashtable.h

etc...

The number of lines was quite impressive though:

$ lsof | grep 1808 | wc -l
  983978

What is it doing with all these files? Is this likely the cause of the
unresponsive system?
