Just had a strange one:

I had restored both of my N900s to their rightful backups (I swapped N900s with my girlfriend).

One exhibited no problems.

The other had problems with tracker, it wouldn't start, I'm guessing this was to do with the /var/tmp directory not being included in the backups since the /var/tmp/tracker-user directory didn't exist.

I think it was actually down to the /var permissions being incorrect so that tracker couldn't create it's folder properly...not sure.

Anyway, the errors tracker were throwing up were (don't remember exact text):

can not open file for write /var/tmp/tracker-user/cache.db

Could not open sqlite3 database


Fixed it by running tracker-processes --hard-reset.


Also Robbie, the alarms were activated this time... strange.
