Technically this only affects the user if indicator-multiload is installed (non-default config but it's in the standard repositories in 12.04) AND home directory is on NFS (uncommon). If home directory is on local drive, this will probably have little impact due to caching.
But indicator refresh should cuase zero traffic with the NFS server, otherwise a network of tens or hurdreds NFS workstations will cause quite a troble to the server and the network. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998759 Title: hud-service frequently tries to accesses non existing files causing high disk/network activity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/998759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
