Hmm... and the "encrypted partition" is not a red-herring ? I mean, could it be ext4 ? Could it be extended attribute in ext4 ? Could it be just some undetected bug in beagle ? Ahh ... ok - "kcryptd and beagle-helper are combined using 100% CPU (in about a 80/20 split with beagle being the 20%)" - so there is something to do with kcryptd. Can you try this test ? Take a reasonably large text file. Run beagle-extract-content on it on a normal partition and your dmcrypted ext4 partition. If the time taken differs significantly, then there is a sure problem there and we can start from there. Unfortunately I am too far from using a dmcrypt partition on ext4 so it will be hard for me to test this directly :-( - dBera -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE / Mandriva / Inspiron-1100
