This persists - big nuisance.
1. Create an empty folder
2. Execute "touch bspl{0001..7000}.c" (simply crates 7000 empty files)
3. Move the files to trash
The system consumed 8GB RAM and 8GB SWAP - heavy usage of CPU - you can monitor
with top
If I am to wait a few min it will resolve and both RAM and SWAP would go down
to 1.5GB
If I want to get out of it somehow - I can killall gvfsd-trash and killall
nautilus
Then go to ~/.local/share/Trash/files$ and empty the content and also
go to ~/.local/share/Trash/info$ and empty the content
I use Darktable (beautiful RAW image manipulation program). Often I have to
delete thousands of files that take a few GB of space. Having a trash is
desirable feature as it gives safety net for few days.
However this behaviour (consuming all the resources of the system) is more than
an inconvenience - it makes the trash unusable.
If somebody knows how to workaround this please advise.
