[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1558768] Re: gvfsd-trash causing high CPU-load when try to empty trash with thousands of files
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 with 64GB RAM and Threadripper 32 Core, when emptying trash, with 32K files (the Flikr 30K dataset), a number of gvfsd-trash threads are spawned and the Gnome desktop freezes. To determine it was gvfsd-trash, I switched to another tty, logged in to console, and killed the process using htop. This restored desktop functionality. I don't know what to look for in the logs, but I can reliably reproduce the behaviour. Steps: 1. download the flickr 30K dataset : https://www.kaggle.com/hsankesara/flickr-image-dataset 2. Extract and then open the folder containing the files (this will take about 22s in Nautilus on my workstation, as an aside this operation takes >2s in Windows Explorer), 3. Select All (This takes about 9 seconds, as an aside, this operation takes >.5 seconds in Windows Explorer). 4. Delete files (This takes a few minutes) 5. Empty trash and watch Gnome Shell and all applications hang like me?? -- 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/1558768 Title: gvfsd-trash causing high CPU-load when try to empty trash with thousands of files Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: - Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) Daily Build - AMD64 - Unity Steps to reproduce: - a folder with thousands of files (here about 15000 files with a overall size of 1.5 GB) - delete files to trash - right-click at the trash icon - click empty trash A dialog "Dateioperationen" shows "vorbereiten" (it's German, I think in English the dialog has the title "file operations" and shows the text "prepare").

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1558768] Re: gvfsd-trash causing high CPU-load when try to empty trash with thousands of files
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.

Title:
gvfsd-trash causing high CPU-load when try to empty trash with
thousands of files
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
- Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) Daily Build
- AMD64
- Unity
Steps to reproduce:
- a folder with thousands of files (here about 15000 files with a overall
size of 1.5 GB)
- delete files to trash
- right-click at the trash icon
- click empty trash
A dialog "Dateioperationen" shows "vorbereiten" (it's German, I think
in English the dialog has the title "file operations" and shows the
text "prepare").
This happens at this point:
- the dialog remains unchanged
- the process gvfsd-trash consumes up to 75% CPU, see output of top
After 30 minutes of waiting for any reaction I killed the process. The
trash still contains all the files.
