[SOLVED] Indexing wasting all the memory? - Page 2

twobob · 10-04-2013, 06:07 AM

AFAIK that doesn't work brian.

@Akirainblack it's on FAT and the indexes have crazy names. limits the options.

ixtab · 10-04-2013, 06:20 AM

... though one could try to do it the other way around. IIRC, the top-level directory is system/search_indexes (or so) - one could try to delete it and place a file with that name there. Might or might not work, someone just give it a try

In case it does work, it could also have the exact opposite effect, namely the indexer spinning at 100% all the time because it can't ever finish its job...

Yup. That's why I didn't post my thoughts on this in the 1st place.

Time to get a "victim kindle" methinks...

will require further testing but seems to have upset it

Aeris · 10-04-2013, 06:49 AM

Are you saying that ixtab method seems to work? Did you test it on PW or touch?

Akirainblack · 10-04-2013, 07:05 AM

So, it stops the indexing process.
Did it make the kindle sluggish at all twobob?

I didn't ssh etc. like him because I'm not good at it. But I've followed ixtab instructions: the folder doesn't recreate and the system seems even faster and more responsive then before in some situations (mega-placebo effect? O.o).

To be sure I've renamed the old folder instead of removing it

Akirainblack · 10-04-2013, 07:24 AM

How did you access your PW Aeris?
If at all possible, would you mind telling me what you did, step by step?
Obviously only if you have the time and inclination.

Aeris · 10-04-2013, 07:29 AM

Bug: crashed while view a pdf due to insufficient memory O.o It never happened before (the pdf file is huge). Trying to put indexer back and test again.
EDIT: tests done, the issue doesn't seem to be related to the indexer.

Attach the USB to you kindle, go to "system" folder (maybe it's hidden under Windows, enable hidden folders), rename the folder "Search Indexes" into "Search Indexes backup", make an empty file in system folder naming it "Search Indexes" (not a txt file, drop the extension by enambling extesions view).

Ixtab correct me if I'm wrong

Akirainblack · 10-04-2013, 07:39 AM

Doh, why did I think it would be in an area we couldn't gain direct access to?

Thanks alot for pointing that out to me Aeris, done it on my PW now.

Thanks to all who have had input with this.

twobob · 10-04-2013, 09:09 AM

Fell asleep again.

Nothing about it in the logs since.

err..Warning. I don't actually read books on my device. soo... That needs looking at.
OR ever restart - I'll check that now.

twobob · 10-04-2013, 09:22 AM

Warning:

Device went to a blank white screen after first reboot.

Reboot fixed it.

So... there may be dragons lurking.

Akirainblack · 10-04-2013, 09:24 AM

I've already restarted my PW with no problems at all and have been going through the kindle for a while now, I'm just trying to copy books to and from the device to see if I can get everything to "fall over" but no problems thus far

twobob · 10-04-2013, 09:28 AM

Haven't managed to reproduce.

Akirainblack · 10-04-2013, 09:32 AM

just as well, we only want one twobob running around.

Could that have been down to a ghost in the machine?
How long did you wait at the white screen?
