Public bug reported: 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.
