Seems to me like a major bug: Has a severe impact on a small (?) portion of Ubuntu users. If developers don't consider this as major, I apologize, and you can set it back to normal. |

I now know why this is happening, at least to me. All my music is on a remote samba share, mounted under /mnt. AmaroK monitors the directory for changes using gamin. Gamin expects things under /mnt to be temporarily mounted, so instead of the MUCH more efficient kernel dnotify method of watching for updates, it actually polls all the files in the mounted directory every second. In my case, it probably can't even list all the files in one second, so it's constantly working as hard as it can, in userspace, to do its thing. I'm going to request (upstream) a compile-time option to specify the directory or directories to poll without dnotify, so we can package it as /media, where we expect our temporary mounts to be (the gamin author, I think, is a redhat guy, and expects them under /mnt). Changing to "needs info" because I wonder how many of the rest of you have a similar setup (directories with lots of files under /mnt) that would allow us to close this bug if we get the new compile-time option and a new package for it. |
