Comment 6 for bug 823647

I am seeing a similar behaviour on Natty, not sure if it's related.

I enabled syncing yesterday for a folder containing about 1.5 GB of files, and left it running overnight. Returned this morning to find my filesystem had been filled up (only 30 MB space remaining) with about 12 GB of files in /tmp (and most of my files had not been synced).

From reading related bugs I have figured out that this probably began because I had a file with an unreadable filename, which I have now renamed and hopefully this will solve the problem for me.

However the creation of massive amounts of temporary files is clearly not right...

If I can help by posting any of my log files, let me know.
