2011-04-05 20:04:19 Alistair Buxton description Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor Steps to reproduce: 1. open gnome-system-monitor 2. switch to the "file systems" tab gnome-system-monitor will now spam dbus with volume information requests until dbus eventually refuses to honour any more. At this point it will start filling .xsession-errors with error messages. This behaviour also seems to cause gfvsd to use incredible amounts of memory (approximately 1GB per hour). ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: gnome-system-monitor 2.28.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-25.44-generic 2.6.35.10 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-25-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Apr 5 15:54:06 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-system-monitor Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor Steps to reproduce: 1. open gnome-system-monitor 2. switch to the "file systems" tab 3. in edit->preferences tick "show all filesystems" and set update interval to 1 second gnome-system-monitor will now spam dbus with volume information requests until dbus eventually refuses to honour any more. At this point it will start filling .xsession-errors with error messages. This behaviour also seems to cause gfvsd to use incredible amounts of memory (approximately 1GB per hour). Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on some systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted filesystems. But when it's turned on the bug happens on lucid, maverick and natty clean/fully patched installs.

Showing all filesystems seems to be required to trigger the bug on some systems - notably clean VM installs with not much mounted filesystems. But when it's turned on the bug happens on lucid, maverick and natty clean/fully patched installs - although the leak happens very slowly in this case - about 1mb per minute. On my main workstation (which is maverick) it's a different story - with "optimal" g-s-m settings, gvfs can leak 1GB in 10 minutes.
