Public bug reported:
After a couple of days of uptime, gvfsd-smb always runs out of file
descriptors for me.
Symptoms:
* nautilus will throw a "too many open files" error when trying to access a
Samba share (even if already mounted).
* Saving files, e.g. LibreOffice, to a Samba share will fail. Unfortunately,
this also applies to files that are already open. Have to save a copy somewhere
else, nothing doing. For every open file, every time this happens.
* Same for opening files from Samba shares, obviously.
* GVFS behaviour in general becomes erratic.
* Log spam that isn't caught by any rate limiting mechanisms. Think a /var/log
hundreds of GB in size. Until / is full. That was fun. Things crashing and
burning aside, poor NVMe ...
Workaround: Periodically killall gvfsd-smb.
This is a regular desktop, I mostly do office stuff, nothing that should
tax this subsystem at all. I might have 10 files on a Samba share open
concurrently sometimes, but the last couple of days it was more like 2
or 3.
