[Bug 348522] Re: gvfsd-gphoto2 copies files to RAM (unsuitable for really large files)

 

I just copied a 1GB trusty live CD from my local computer to a davfs-
mounted webdrive.  Previously, this would trigger this bug but I no
longer see it now, none of the gvfs-related processes were consuming
more than 40MB.  I still run trusty, I verified the upstream patch is
indeed applied.  So, yes, this is fixed.  I believe you are seeing
something else.  I suggest you open a new ticket with similar
information as was given here.

Title:
  gvfsd-gphoto2 copies files to RAM (unsuitable for really large files)

Status in GVFS:
  Fix Released
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  Copy video files from my Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS with 16GB SD Card is a very hard problem.
  It uses about 1 or 2 times the file dimension that you are copying.

  I have 2GB of memory (1GB RAM + 1 GB SWAP) and I can't backup some
  videos because they are too big.

  Also copying files from the computer to a media device (camera,
  smartphone etc) is broken for the same reason.
