Bug Description
I have 7.6G of music in /home/phablet/
/dev/mmcblk0p23 13G 12G 1.2G 91% /home
Unfortunately, ~/.cache/
# ls -lh ./mtp-server.log
-rw-r----- 1 phablet phablet 1.2G Mar 12 12:27 ./mtp-server.log
$ wc -l ./mtp-server.log
15626025 ./mtp-server.log
When this happens, the user session is very grumpy-- apps can't launch, network indicator can't connect to networks, etc, etc. It is mostly filled with entries of the form:
...
format: b902
"/home/
android:
format: b902
"/home/
android:
...
However, it is very noisy and seems to run away. Ie, grepping for a single picture in the Pictures folder:
$ egrep image20140309_
3324
This is after less than a day of use-- and I didn't reboot, connect via USB, etc 3324 times today. :)
Workaround: when phone is unusable, check how much /home is filled, if 100%, rm -f ~/.cache/
