What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Disable the tracker miner services via the following KCS:  https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3364861

As well as additional steps involving masking the tracker-miner-* service

This did not disable the tracker-miner* services as they would pop back up again after a re/boot/start of the system/user.

This was even after masking services on a "per-user" basis.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

tracker-miners

How reproducible:

Very

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to disable the tracker miner by both masking the service unit files.
2. Reboot machine
3. Services still continue to run despite service unit files being masked.

Expected results

Any "tracker-miner" processes should not be running

Actual results

This works until the next re-start then the services associated with "tracker-miner" seem to pop back up and continue to run.

Additional Note(s): 

Ideally there should be a "single point of disabling" that is system-wide for clients who wish to disable this part of gnome even though it may potentially break other parts of gnome functionality.

If the gnome tracker-miners cannot be controlled by the systemd service unit files then why have them start/stop via unit files if masking them has no effect?
