After i moved my pictures and movies from the inserted microSD to the internal flash i'm also in the need to reset the tracker db. tracker-processes seems to be the right solution:
Code:
user@Nokia-N900-42-11:~$ tracker-processes --help
Usage:
  tracker-processes [OPTION...]  - Manage Tracker processes and data

Help Options:
  -?, --help           Show help options

Application Options:
  -k, --kill           Use SIGKILL to stop all tracker processes found - guarantees death :)
  -t, --terminate      Use SIGTERM to stop all tracker processes found
  -r, --hard-reset     This will kill all Tracker processes and remove all databases

user@Nokia-N900-42-11:~$
So i try now
Code:
tracker-processes --hard-reset
and the result is:
Code:
user@Nokia-N900-42-11:~$ tracker-processes --hard-reset
Found 166 pids...
Found process ID 20363 for 'trackerd'
  Killed process 20363

After this, no trackerd is running. Starting media player will start trackerd.
