I am working with Ubuntu 20.04 and currently, I have a tracker-miner-f eating up my cpu.
What is this? Why is the cpu usage over 100%? Is it problematic?
Kind regards

If it lasts a long time (i.e. isn't just some transient processing), try moving all the files in your Desktop folder to another folder, and then rebooting. (there's a bug in the desktop icons extension that can cause problems in certain situations) – Nonny Moose May 27 '22 at 18:08

I was facing tracker processes spiking with a high CPU usage followed exits with failure exit code, especially tracker-miner-fs-3. I followed this suggestion from @evert and removed tracker cache. That was enough for my case.
rm -r ~/.cache/tracker
Maybe for my case running tracker3 reset -s (to reset the filesystem cache) could be enough, but, yeah, cleaning the whole cache worked.
