It was not a soft link, but this time I created soft link for testing )) A cycling soft link does NOT create a bug, as it stopped following symlink to directory at about depth=80 (with 40 symblinks), with the longest path looked like this ~/Templates/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l
It's the linux kernel refuses to go through infinite loop: $ ls ~/Templates/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/ ls: cannot access '~/Templates/a/l/a/l/a/l/a/ ... l/a/l/a/': Too many levels of symbolic links The man page https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/path_resolution.7.html says: "As currently implemented on Linux, the maximum number of symbolic links that will be followed while resolving a pathname is 40." I kept what I had in ~/Templates for testing, and I will write a separate comment about the real issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081198 Title: ding.js is consuming too much CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng/+bug/2081198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
