Description of problem: Looks like udisksd again leaks big portion of memory (it seems like reborn of Bug 892980) At this moment I've udisksd eating >260MB and it's just enough to activate/deactivate devices... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udisks2-2.0.91-3.fc19.x86_64 libudisks2-2.0.91-3.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Just tried with your example # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=2 num_tgts=1700; udevadm settle and got udisksd up to 26MB. That sounds reasonable for me. Neither gvfs volume monitors eat more memory. Also tried with 17000 drives and got udisksd up to 198 MB and gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor up to 232 MB. That's about 11kB per drive/volume, including exposure to d-bus etc. I'm tempted to try your lvm2 test some day. The only problem I see is the same memory consumption when scsi_debug is rmmodded, we're probably leaking something there. Will look at that.
Yep - it's about doing this repeatedly (running in while loop) But loosing 11kB per device is quite a lot - since most of the information is already stored in udev database (which consumes also nontrivial amount of space via its /tmpfs storage) - it should be reevaluated which data needs to be present in udiskd memory and which could be easily grabbed from udev when needed.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
