Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
Mounted an SMB share using gvfs-mount (also same effect when done
through Places/Network menu item in Gnome). When copying large files
from my hard disk to the network share using ~/.gvfs/[share] memory
usage of the gvfsd-smb process becomes large (had over 4G at one point)
which could be a memory leak. This is repeatable - I tried rebooting
and the process grows again when doing the copy.
Ran valgrind with --leak-check=full over gvfsd-smb. Results attached -
seems to indicate a leak in smbc_set_credentials_with_fallback call in
/usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0. Console out (redirected to file from a
script) from gvfsd-smb execution has one line
"smbc_set_credentials_with_fallback: allocation fail". Could this be a
bug in libsmbclient instead of gvfs?
Running libsmbclient 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5, gvfs 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu
9.10. Never experienced this leak before when copying large files in
9.04, only after upgrading to 9.10.
