[ajtiM]

Hi!

I use FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 #0 r242324 mnow. After updtae from 9.1-RC2 to RC3 I have
a problem with GIMP which start more slow than before and top shows me:


THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND
3 102 0 44176K 9256K CPU1 0 1:11 100.00% gvfs-afc-volume-mon

Firefox and Inkscape wok same as before and gvfs-* doesn't show.

Thank you.

I have been running 9.0 all year and have seen this issue but haven't
gone as far as tracking down the cause of it hanging like that. I
wondered if it may have an issue with zfs - I run a pure zfs system.

While it will use 100% cpu and keep the disk busy I have tried letting
it run for a few hours and it doesn't stop.

It is gtk related - a lot of gtk/gnome apps trigger it when starting
even xfce starts it on login, others will trigger/re-trigger when the
open file dialog is used.

My biggest concern is not knowing where it comes from - it is not listed
in any packing list for installed ports. All the build logs from my
tinderbox setup have no mention of it.

Initially I setup a cron job to quit any instance of it every 2 minutes.

Renaming it prevents it being started up and doesn't appear to give any
critical errors, all I get is -

GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for
remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.AfcVolumeMonitor:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program
/usr/local/libexec/gvfs-afc-volume-monitor: No error: 0

I don't use zfs. Maybe is a bug?

A web search turns up a number of reports of exactly this same
problem... on Linux. So, not a FreeBSD bug.

This looks like another auto-configure bug. gvfs-afc-volume-monitor is
built by devel/gvfs when the necessary library is present. It should
either be exposed as a port option or else be explicitly disabled.

I did this. This bug report reports this issue and a patch is attached.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=173267

When using this patch you must enable afc, compile, install and
deinstall to remove files not list on pkg-plist.

After that, you must disable afc and install the port.
