[ubuntu-za] Tracker Applet

[Bruno Marques]

hello everyone

i seem to have a problem with my ubuntu 9.04

everytime i plug in a usb flash disc, memory card, external hard drive, etc

after a few seconds a warning message appears saying:
Tracker
There was an error while performing indexing:
Index corrupted

and it gives me 3 options. Reindex all contents, Cancel and OK.
if i click cancel or ok, the message disappears but shows up again after 
3 seconds or so.
if i choose reindex all contents another message appears saying:

Re-index your system?
indexing can take a long time. Are you sure you want to re-index?

i dont know what to choose, if yes or no.

and i notices my cpu is like at a 100%

when i run top, this is whats sucking up all the processor:

notice the first 2 processes,

what i do to resolve this problem, is, after im done transfering files, 
i remove the memorycard, flash disk or whatever

and then i have to kill the process in the command line.
otherwise the message wont go away, even after i unpluged the device.

what can solve this?

best regards
