Title:
popularity-contest will stat() every file installed file or ~80k files
on my system which grinds things to a halt
Status in “popularity-contest” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: popularity-contest
I was trying to use my puny laptop when the popularity-contest cronjob
started running and killed all I/O performance on my poor ~5000 rpm
disk. When popularity-contest is run it'll stat() every file installed
by a package on my system or around 81,000 files on my system which
has 2252 packages installed.
I'm willing to send statistics to Ubuntu but I'm not willing to have
them grind my laptop to a halt. The Ubuntu installer should be more
specific about what users are getting themselves into and provide the
option of sending a lite statistics report equivalent to dpkg -l|grep
