[Bug 709314] Re: akonadi server leaks memory and consumes CPU until the OOM killer steps in

[Joseph Tate]

I've finally had time to dig into this some;

I switched to a virtual console and saw this output:
type=1503 audit(1297265279.564:33): operation="file_perm" pid=5830 parent=5801 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi" requested_mask="w::" denied_mask="w::" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 name="/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err"


I deleted my ~/.local/share/akonadi folder and that error went away, but top was still showing akonadi resources running amok:
 2838 jtate     20   0 1038m 784m  15m R   90 16.0   0:27.15 akonadi_nepomuk    


Then I deleted my ~/.config directory, and now I can log in without waiting 10 minutes for the OOM killer to step in if I don't kill akonadi before my laptop starts swapping like crazy.

I have saved a backup of the .config directory if someone wants to do
some forensics.
