[Bug 2115014] Re: gvfsd-trash fills my syslog

 

Attaching the result of `gio mount -l -i`.

`gio mount --monitor` stays empty.

I tested again today after rebooting.
- syslog calm (tail -f)
- echo abc >/mnt/whatever/.Trash-23001/files/abc.jpg
- syslog rolls and rolls, scrollback buffer is away after seconds
- rm /mnt/whatever/.Trash-23001/files/abc.jpg
- new messages stop immediately in syslog

yes, it's Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS with XFCE desktop.

Filesystems are ext4, btrfs and nfs, local filesystems on an lvm layer.
The tested file is on an ext4

  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.
