I forgot that I'd had to stop the tracker daemon yesterday because it
was just filling up my syslog with all the entries I'd posted in my
original post. It was also heating up the CPU cores to around 140F. I'd
gone through and reset the tracker db from instructions on the tracker
list and I 'assume' it was working on rebuilding it. However I just
logged out and in again and tracker restarted. I did run your command
before I stopped it and go the following:

chris at localhost:~$ ps ax -o cmd | grep [t]racker
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-apps
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-extract
/usr/local/libexec/tracker-store
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-fs
/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-user-guides

I only had a chance to run one and do it quickly before I had to stop
the daemon or I was afraid my CPU would melt :(

Just to show how much is being written to syslog this is the size of
just yesterdays log from the time it was restarted yesterday morning
until it was rotated this morning - 1.7 GB (1,670,648,287 bytes)

I'll read through and make replies to the rest of the posts today as I
can.

I do want to thank in advance all of you who sent me replies and
suggestions.

Chris
