Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Big memory leak in gnome-panel when raid checks gets going.
Easy to reproduce, I have / mounted on sdd drive but then some software (mdadm)
raid arrays in $HOME and as soon as a check starts gnome-panel will eat memory
and lots of it.
How to reproduce:
mount /dev/md(NR) $HOME/mountpoint
echo check >/sys/block/md(NR)/md/sync_action
Watch gnome-panel eat your memory.
Side note, if I have some cifs mount points in $HOME as well it seems to
eat even more memory while raid check.
Been like this in 9.x and 10.04 and I would be surprised if it was fixed
in 10.10.
Maybe someone with some valgrind skills can look at this.
