tracker-miner-f 100% CPU and slows system down
tracker-miner-f has been using 100% CPU and my system making it almost unresponsive. This happens around once a month or so when I boot up. It sometimes lasts for a number of days (or a number of resets) until the system becomes responsive again.
The command "tracker status" always shows the same thing: "Estimated less than one second left" although it appears that everything is already indexed because the file and folder counts do not increase.
Even so tracker-miner-f is still showing 100% CPU

UPDATE
I have now reset the tracker and it seems to be going through and indexing everything again.
tracker reset --hard
Now tracker-miner-f has re-indexed everything and tracker-extract and tracker-store are running.
UPDATE 2
The tracker reset completed indexing everything and the went into idle state. However when rebooting, tracker-miner-f went to 100% CPU once again.
