Public bug reported:
I have a JetFlash 620 8Gb Transcend drive. Whenever i insert it, the cpu load gets very high. This problem persists in 10.10 and 11.04, but it does not affect 10.04. udiscs --monitor gives the following added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sde changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd1 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 job-changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd1 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd1 job-changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd1 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 changed: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0 ..etc where sdd is the user data partition, sr0 is a non-writeable partition holding the security software. Workaround: "sudo stop udev" lowers the CPU load. Seems to work fine after that, but surely not an elegant move . Additional info: udisks version 1.0.2-4ubuntu1 udev version 167-0ubuntu3 Fix reported using "sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0" here : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1478339.html ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801858 Title: high cpu loads on using security enabled USB drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/801858/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
