run a from a A usb install there is no problem with queries. The problems
typically only arise "that I have noticed" when you install from a running
desktop enviroment. If you install from a live CD you get the same issues
IF you install from the desktop but not if you just boot to the installer.
and install.

clearly know absolutely nothing about how the OS/kernel works. The cache
will never shrink unless forced to by memory pressure (i.e. an app
requesting more mem than is available without freeing some cache pages).
This is by design, and is completely unrelated to if/when they're written
to disk. They're kept in memory in order to increase performance, since
random free memory that's unused isn't accomplishing anything anyways, so
any use of it to decrease disk access is a good thing. You'll notice large
amounts of cache usage on every other major OS as well.
Well here the thing, It's a behavior I am observing and you are being
delibrately ignorant of it. I am also telling you that the cache is not
being released when a large file copy operation is invoked. Try this, put
a 4gb "movies are sufficient large" file on your primary partition, copy
it to another partition, then unmount the secondary partition.The system
will refuse to do so saying the disk is still in use long after Tracker
has reported finishing the file copy operation. The data is not being
written out of the cache and into the partition in totality. It is left
lingering in the cache.
this might be the exact problem people are observing with metadata as
well as other file system copy problems during install when running from
the desktop.
But thats OK, since its not at all related to files not being copied
properly right ?
