I just login into my account with Gnome shell, then free memory is going lower and lower.
After 1 hour, I found tracker-miner-fs eats 3GB of memory.

I'm using ~amd64, and all my packages are latest version.

Is it a Gentoo bug, or a Gnome's bug?

In all likelihood, there is some file (a huge zip archive, for example) that tracker is taking a lot of memory to mine for metadata.

Try the following:

tracker-control --terminate=miners
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files verbosity debug
tracker-control --start

and then look at the end of ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.log when the memory usage blows up again to see what it is doing.

When you are done debugging, don't forget to do

gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files verbosity errors

(otherwise, tracker-miner-fs.log can grow extremely large).

Also, please attach the output of emerge --info tracker

Okay, I'm starting debuging now.
