I was just coming here to report the issue of the .Trash directories as
well.  However, I only have about 15 automount entries on my system so I
don't see the same kinds of load problems seen by robogeek.  I just
noticed that my daemon.log file is filling up with autofs errors:

Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3093]: failed to mount 
/export/autofs/.Trash
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3094]: failed to mount 
/export/autofs/.Trash-10490
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3099]: >> /sbin/showmount: can't get 
address for .Trash
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3099]: lookup(program): lookup for 
.Trash failed
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3099]: failed to mount /net/.Trash
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3105]: >> /sbin/showmount: can't get 
address for .Trash-10490
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3105]: lookup(program): lookup for 
.Trash-10490 failed
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3105]: failed to mount /net/.Trash-10490
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3111]: failed to mount /opt/net/.Trash
Apr  4 16:14:41 psmith-ubeta automount[3112]: failed to mount 
/opt/net/.Trash-10490

etc.  Note that 10490 is my UID.  This seems to happen every time
automount tries to mount something.

It looks like some kind of bad interaction between the new trashcan
capabilities (maybe gvfs) I've heard about, and autofs.  It might not be
an autofs problem at all, but I don't know what part of the system is
trying to access the .Trash directory on every filesystem, and where
that process, whatever it is, gets its list of filesystems to test.

This is a big problem for people trying to use Ubuntu in any kind of
traditional enterprise environment, where autofs is ubiquitous.
