I think I may have the same issue in Trusty, possibly even worse: the gvfsd-smb process would randomly start and totally max out the CPU for no apparent reason - the thing is, not only I don't use samba at all, I have actually *purged* all samba packages from this system.
I really can't see how this process, which should be spawned by samba, should even start at all (let alone load the CPU to its max) when samba isn't even installed any more in my system. This being an old laptop which easily overheats, after getting nowhere trying to figure out why gvfsd-smb does this, I've resolved to remove the executable bit from gvfsd-smb and gvfsd-dnssd (which also starts for no apparent reason) and finally got rid of this big issue. But nonetheless I believe that such an annoying (and potentially harmful) long-standing bug should be properly investigated and fixed once and for all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409032 Title: gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1409032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
