Thank you for your bug report! Are you using Ubuntu Hardy Heron (the testing version)? There's a similar bug there, bug #196991
Could you try to reproduce this with a SMB, SSH or FTP server? You can use the System Monitor tool, in the System->Administration menu, to see how much memory all processes are using. There's no need to copy 800MB, just copy enough data so that you can see which process is causing this. Assuming this bug is related to #196991, then the offending process will probably be gvfsd-something. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Memory usage problem while copying remote files with WebDAV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
