Title:
nautilus takes a huge amount of memory when copy-pasting files
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
My system has 2GB of RAM and 4GB of swap. Nautilus is taking almost
all of them. Top says 1781M virt and 1.2G res. This happens as I´m
doing a backup of my external USB drive into another USB drive. Around
1.000.000 files, with music, videos, text, and thousands and thousands
of pictures. Copying from Ext3 to Ext4 partition, with a simple copy
and paste.
Copy speed decreased with time, starting around 16-17MB/sec now around
11MB/sec.
Serious bug. Copy & paste shouldn´t destroy a machine no matter how
big the amount of files/total size. =(
I posted this originally as a comment, but this is a different
behaviour to the one described on the bug report that I posted on.
