While tracker is indexing, I can obtain search results from the "super" key menu or using tracker search, e.g. "tracker search Magnetic". After a few minutes, this stops working and further searches yield no results. tracker status reports:
Currently indexed: 2 files, 0 folders
Remaining space on database partition: 729.7 GB (82.65%)
All data miners are idle, indexing complete
To investigate, I ran:
tracker daemon --set-log-verbosity debug
tracker daemon --terminate
tracker reset --hard
tracker daemon --start
This reproduces the issue.
The system log then contains many entries like the following (this is the first):
