I confirm this on a current Edgy (as of 2006-10-21), with nautilus 2.16.1-0ubuntu3. This is on AMD64 but in 32bit mode. This happens to me when downloading AVIs or ISOs, with Firefox or wget, i.e. basically any time there is a constantly growing file.
I don't know if this can help, but I attach the first 50 lines of an "strace $(pidof nautilus)" after the problem occured. ** Attachment added: "50 lines of an "strace $(pidof nautilus)" after the problem occured" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4919007/strace.log -- High CPU usage https://launchpad.net/bugs/54684 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
