Problem still here. Recently, I had a 3.4GB syslog file which completely
filled my root volume. 99.83% of all loglines were related to this
problem.

  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.
