OK, this looks interesting. Transferred another 26678 files, 48,3 GB without issues. gvfsd-smb memory usage grew from about 3 to 15 Mb, and nautilus' from 10 to about 50Mb during the copy. At the end of the copy, I noticed that neither process had released any memory.
So I started a second copy. gvfd-smb grew to 32 Mb and nautilus to 74. Again, no memory release. I noticed that both processes memory usage grows much more quickly when transferring many small files, than when dealing with few but large ones. Third time, gvfsd-smb up to 46 and nautilus up to 99 So I kept trying until I finally had the copy hang. gvfsd-smb memory usage had grown to about 130Mb and nautilus' to about 250 Mb. Your thoughts? Is this behaviour normal? Could somebody able to easily trigger it post gvfsd-smb and nautilus memory usage at the moment of the hang? Also, is there anybody on 12.04, who's not experiencing the issue, who can check these processes behaviour? -- 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/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a large directory, almost 50Gb and 45.000 files shared by samba on ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS server. I used to copy the whole directory regularly on my desktop, and execute a backup with deja dup on that. I did also often backup directly from the samba share. After upgrading my client to 12.10, copying the directory hangs randomly, sometimes after having copied just 1 Gb, others having almost completed the whole transfer. It just hangs, without any crash. I noted the also Deja -dup shows the same behaviour, now it's impossible to complete a backup from the share, it just hangs. It seems to me that a bug in the samba client might be the cause of these issues, since neither nautilus nor Deja-dup have problems with local large directories. my system: Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64 nautilus: 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4 deja-dup: deja-dup 24.0-0ubuntu1 smbclient 2:3.6.6-3ubuntu5 samba-common: 2:3.6.6-3ubuntu5 samba-common-bin: 2:3.6.6-3ubuntu5 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 7 12:05:58 2012 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'825x550+853+471'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-22 (16 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
