Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
My system has 2GB of RAM and 4GB of swap. Nautilus is taking almost all
of them. Top says 1781M virt and 1.2G res. This happens as I´m doing a
backup of my external USB drive into another USB drive. Around 1.000.000
files, with music, videos, text, and thousands and thousands of
pictures. Copying from Ext3 to Ext4 partition, with a simple copy and
paste.
Copy speed decreased with time, starting around 16-17MB/sec now around
11MB/sec.
Serious bug. Copy & paste shouldn´t destroy a machine no matter how big
the amount of files/total size. =(
I posted this originally as a comment, but this is a different behaviour
to the one described on the bug report that I posted on.
