Impossible to copy movie from EOS 550D: gvfsd-gphoto2 uses 3 GB of memoy and gvfs-fuse-daemon crashes

[Christophe]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Hi,

while trying to copy a 3.2 GB video file from a Canon EOS 550D, the gvfsd-gphoto2 process uses more and more memory, my system starts to swap itself to death at about 2.5 GB. (80% of system memory) Finally the gvfs-fuse-daemon crashed, this is the error I'm reporting here with apport and the transfer fails with the error message "Error in stream protocol: End of stream"

I've tried it on Ubuntu 10.04 using a different notebook, the memory usage problem was the same, I had to reboot the system manually.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm that this is still the case. Here's the debian bug report with a little bit more information.

I am using Precise Pangolin. And this is a real show stopper for anyone working with large files on cameras.

I got a crash like this while copying photos, with a similar stacktrace. However the copy job didn't stop, I just got an apport box.

same here in 12.04. copy files ~6.5GB to my phone (samsung galaxy s3) ends up gvfs 'eating' of all available ram - 4GB, and then gui hangs up, after that its either prayer, or reboot.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

same thing happens with gvfsd-dav as well. It seems to be a (flawed) design decision and will probably need upstream involvement

[mani (mani-zaeim)]

same things here, i tried to copy 6.7 GB mkv file on my HTC One X which run on android 4.1 and i have the same problem here

[Cihat TOMBAK (cihat-tombak)]

Same problem here with 12.04, gvfsd-gphoto2 tries to allocate as same size as the file size from memory.
