Hi Daniel,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. However, we don't have
enough information to reproduce and debug this.

Are you using specific filesystems by any chance? Could be USB sticks,
cloud-backed drives, etc...

Could you paste the output of `gio mount -l -i`?
Also, maybe use `gio mount --monitor` to see if anything unusual is going on?

It seems suspiciously similar to bug 2103737 but in their case they tied
the log output to specific events. I'd rather not close either as
duplicate until we get a clearer picture.

  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.
