I have this in my .bashrc:
# Kill with fire.
killall -9 -r tracker-.* >& /dev/null
Seems to be the only way to permanently disable it that I have found
(I'm not using GNOME).
Rich.
On F25 (not sure about older releases), on can mask the tracker
systemd user service(s):
# cd /etc/systemd/user/
# for i in $(rpm -ql tracker | grep systemd.*.service); do ln -s
/dev/null $(basename $i); done
the tracker processes won't get started the next time you log in.
