wrestool hogging the memory resources

[allenskd]

I switched to linux mint "petra" 16 a few days ago. Most of the things worked out of the box, installed the latest NVIDIA drivers and I didn't exactly had any problems with the environment. However, while I was restoring the backups I had from windows I noticed random freezes that would even force pulseaudio to restart.

I noticed in htop that wrestool was spawning several processes just to verify the contents of several exe files, so when it hit files of 3-4GB+ it would consume over 1GB+ of RAM thus ending up hogging all the memory for 2-3 minutes.

I researched a bit and found this ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/614918

Anyway, is there a way to "disable" wrestool to make it stop checking EXEs? The freezes are unbearable =/

I have the same problem with Wrestool. What I do in that moment is quickly open a terminal or Alt+F2 and write

Code: Select all

killall wrestool

Then the system goes to the normality.
But I don't know if there is a way to disable it.

Do you have enabled previews for exe files in dolphin? If so try turning that off.
