I just moved around a lot of files between external hard drives, around
400 GB all in all. It took all night, and now I have unmounted all
drives and thought I would be able to work as usual, but the system is
slow and unresponsive. Nautilus takes up a whopping 1.6 gb resident, and
2.9gb all in all (so 1.3 gb in swap).
Extract from top:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5247 motin 20 0 2957m 1.6g 4972 S 0 47.6 69:54.49 nautilus
1115 motin 20 0 765m 473m 10m S 4 13.4 113:13.34 firefox
I guess nautilus somewhere has cached the file lists of all transferred
files or similar, and hasn't released this memory even though even the
drives are unmounted and disconnected.
Attaching the output of pmap `pidof nautilus`. I have saved a the
contents of the files in /proc/`pidof nautilus`/ as well in case
something else needs to be attached (Please tell me what else is needed)
