OK, this looks interesting. Transferred another 26678 files, 48,3 GB without issues. gvfsd-smb memory usage grew from about 3 to 15 Mb, and nautilus' from 10 to about 50Mb during the copy. At the end of the copy, I noticed that neither process had released any memory.
So I started a second copy. gvfd-smb grew to 32 Mb and nautilus to 74. Again, no memory release. I noticed that both processes memory usage grows much more quickly when transferring many small files, than when dealing with few but large ones. Third time, gvfsd-smb up to 46 and nautilus up to 99 So I kept trying until I finally had the copy hang. gvfsd-smb memory usage had grown to about 130Mb and nautilus' to about 250 Mb. Your thoughts? Is this behaviour normal? Could somebody able to easily trigger it post gvfsd-smb and nautilus memory usage at the moment of the hang? Also, is there anybody on 12.04, who's not experiencing the issue, who can check these processes behaviour? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
