I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see here.

tracker-extract *does* require ressources to index your file system /
home directory.

Dear Maintainer,

Since few days tracker eats lot of cpu permanently (sometime 100%) and the computer becomes unusable.

Dear Maintainer,

I do understand, that:
"tracker-extract *does* require ressources to index your file system /
home directory."

However my point is, that I don't want it to index anything.
I don't need this service. I don't want any system tools to index my files
and I don't want to waste CPU power for it.
The problem however is that I can't disable it any convenient way.

I really want to disable it on the system level for all users without
deinstalling it (as some useful packages depend on it).
Of course I can rename the "tracker-extract" binary to "tracker-extract.deleted"
(which will help until nearest upgrade of. I can run "killall -9 tracker-extract" every 10
minutes using cron. I can imagine many similar workarounds.

The real problem is that even when I run "tracker-preferences" and removed
all directories in "Locations" tab, it still gets started (and anyway I'd
need to do it for all users individually).

With best regards,
Wojtek
