thank you all, for telling us that gvfsd is part of fuse (fuseiso). i didn't like how much cpu time gvfsd-metadata was using. Also, i didn't find fuse of any use. i installed it trying to mount an iso as a dvd and it Didn't work for that. i could already mount an iso as a directory (folder), so fuse was once again, useless. i had problems with fuse in the past messing up my mount table and moving mounts out of order ( it would try and mount a drive in a folder before the drive that contained the folder was mounted... ) fuse sucked back then, it sucks now . fuse / fuseiso / gvfsd-* is now gone and my memory / cpu usage is back to norm...
thanks again, Landis. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433500 Title: gvfsd memory leak Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gvfs I found my system generally unresponsive after running overnight. I could not get the X screen saver to respond but was able to <ctrl><alt><F1> to a console window, log in and run 'top' where I found that all RAM and swap were exhausted (0 swap available) and top reported that gvfsd was using 75% of RAM. I killed firefox (using about 10% of RAM) and saw that gvfsd went up to about 77% in a couple of minutes. At that point I rebooted the system to try to restore normal operation. I'm not sure if this is related to difficulty mounting a Sansa Fuze device earlier in the day. The device failed to mount on the first try but mounted OK on the second attempt (plugging in the USB cable.) The Sansa Fuze has 2GB flash and an 8GB micro-SDHC card and is new so I do not have much experience using it with this system.
