I have a similar problem with gvfsd, where its memory usage grows in certain circumstances. I checked some of the other reports here, but cannot seem to reproduce it with file copies or connections. If I don't have gnome-system-monitor running, it does not seem to be a problem.
To reproduce on my setup, I just have to start gnome-system-monitor, but the problem does not appear, until I click the file "File Systems" tab. I then disabled all my remote mounts (mostly samba/windows shares) and switched between the "File Systems" and "Processes" tabs. Every time when on the "File System" tab the the memory used by gvfsd increased. When on any of the other tabs, there was no problem. I then did a few tests by changing some of the settings. In the preferences I changed the update interval to 20 seconds. In one minute the memory usage increased from 310 KB to 324KB I then ticked "Show all filesystems" In one minute, the usage increased from 320Kb to 472KB I then changed the update interval to 1 second and unchecked the "Show all filesystems" In one minute the usage increased from 320KB to 376KB I then checked the "Show all filesystems" and; In one minute the usage increased from 320KB to 1.7MB As I am no techie (so, I'm not sure I did it correctly) I ran system monitor with valgrind and attach the log - The problem was that it also was so unresponsive, that I could not switch between the tabs in the system monitor) ** Attachment added: "valgrind-logs-gnome-system-monitor.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47922914/valgrind-logs-gnome-system-monitor.tar.gz -- gvfsd memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
