Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36581
Affects: gamin (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
gam_server pegs the cpu and drags the whole laptop to a crawl.
This is easy to reproduce - get a compact flash card full of camera pictures.
Put it in CF-PCMCIA adaptor ($10) and plug it into the PCMCIA slot of a
laptop. Mount the resultant drive (/dev/hda1 for me) and copy the files off.
Now watch top.
That level of cpu usage is unacceptable. You can't remove the gamin package
because gnome depends on it for some inane reason.
