I tried reproducing using a VM. I used the image
xubuntu-24.04.2-minimal-amd64.iso from
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/24.04/release/.

The results are slightly different, but interesting:

Steps for reproducing:
- Create a VM using the ISO image xubuntu-24.04.2-minimal-amd64.iso. No physical disk needed, but ~3GB of RAM
- Boot into the UI
- in a terminal A: tail -f /var/lib/syslog
- in a terminal B:
    sudo -i
    cd /
    truncate -s 100M fakedev.dat
    losetup /dev/loop5 /fakedev.dat
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/loop5
    mkdir /a   # don't use /mnt - it behaves differently
    mount /dev/loop5 /a
    chown xubuntu /a
- in a thunar (file explorer) window, as normal user xubuntu:
    open /a
    create a new empty /a/whatever.txt (you can use the "create new plain text file" function)
    delete that file using Delete key. there should not be a confirm dialog
    # now, a folder /a/.Trash-1000 is created with some structure and the file inside. at the same time, syslog gets the following new lines:

2025-06-27T12:19:54.762998+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: GFileInfo created without standard::name
2025-06-27T12:19:54.763470+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: file ../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1698 (g_file_info_get_name): should not be reached
2025-06-27T12:19:54.764017+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: GFileInfo created without standard::name
2025-06-27T12:19:54.764535+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: file ../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1698 (g_file_info_get_name): should not be reached


Please note: There was NO direct interaction with the .Trash folder (creating a file etc). It seems that every deletion of a file results in one or more syslog warnings.

Please also note: the UI behaves differently, if the loop device was
mounted to /mnt. In this case, delete to trash is not offered and the
file is deleted immediately

  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.
