Public bug reported: After an upgrade to Hardy Heron - fresh, clean install - Nautilus hangs, freezes and
CPU usage rise to 100% and RAM to 88% at first (+50% swap use) and slowly eats more and more RAM - and after 10-15 minutes (I haven't tried to let it hang any longer than that) almost all RAM is gone (1.256GB + 512MB swap) ....when opening, via: Places / Name_of_disk an USB ext.

Error No such file or directory Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. ========== The HDD is 400GB and opens fine on a Gutsy system - in the past on the machine where it now freezes as well as on a Gutsy installation on another machine. The disk is also accessible via music players (I am listening to music as I type right now - CPU usage 100% and Nautilus is frozen) and from a terminal. The disk works fine, it seems. When trying to close Nautilus the "Force quit" option appears and when clicked Nautilus disappears and restarts on location: /home/me Other USB disks (with less storage space open fine). I removed the "nautilus-share extension", but that made no difference apart from different output from .xsession: Initializing nautilus-image-converter extension seahorse nautilus module initialized ** (nautilus:8360): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported Initializing nautilus-image-converter extension seahorse nautilus module initialized ** (nautilus:8453): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported === Then I removed all other additional Nautilus plugins installed and tried a few times more: that gives this output: Initializing nautilus-image-converter extension Initializing nautilus-share extension seahorse nautilus module initialized ** (nautilus:8219): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.
