As you might guess, the CPU load is also high, but my main problem is
that I get a "no space left" on my root volume no matter how big it is.

The only workaround is regularly calling the following command:

    sudo truncate -s0 /var/log/syslog

Pausing the process gvfsd-trash is also an option, but then desktop
programs block when trying to do file operations (eg file open dialog)

I recently upgraded from 22.04 to 24.04. This was the moment when this
started. I didn't call any trash operations.
