I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and I have the same problem that most of you have already described. My workstation has 4 Gb of ram and I usually have the swap partitions disabled, I only activate them if I really need to. I also have my workstation on 24/7 and a lot of services (like mysqld, sshd, apache, virtualbox, ...) running on it 24/7. I can't figure out the exact pattern which causes the memory leak in gvfsd, but I don't use network shares, neither NFS nor samba. I do use the shared folders feature of virtualbox, but I'm not convinced that the shared folders are really samba or nfs shares. So as far as I see the issue it isn't just related to sharing. In my case the issue must have to do something with usb memory sticks, which are of course automatically mounted by gvfsd once inserted, but even if they are removed after being first unmounted, gvfsd will start eating up all the memory it can get. If there is anything that I could do to provide useful information please tell me how to do so.
