Today I encountered the same bug with the same operation, on my Ubuntu 11.04(kernel 2.6.39-2)
[operation] using 11.04 naultilus, copy huge number of files from my old laptop(ubuntu 10.10) over ssh(sftp) Naultilus run more than 10 hours,and come to a nearly frozen state. Luckly I could run top command in a terminal(slowly), and found that the naultilus consumed all the free memory(6G of 8G) and even swap space(7G of 16G) After I killed the naultilus proc, the memory was released, and system became responsive again It seems the problem only occur under huge number of files? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641850 Title: Nautilus leaks large amounts of memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/641850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
