Description Han Boetes 2014-09-23 12:30:00 UTC

Description of problem:

Our company has quite a few users that are logged on to a few servers. And their homedirectories are automounted. To give an indication:

% df|wc -l
1163
% w | wc -l        
645

We noticed hi system load and noticed gvfsd-trash is causing a lot of load for each individual user. Running strace on an individual process shows that for every user on the system, every 2 seconds gvfsd-trash polls their home directory. That's 200000 polls every second. 

inotify_add_watch(7, "/home/xxx", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

How can we solve this problem? How can we tell gvfsd-trash to only look in home directory of the user and not try to acces the homedirectories of other users?

% rpm -q gvfs
gvfs-1.4.3-16.el6_5.x86_64
