http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1030642 Bug ID: 1030642 Summary: Chromium scratches hard drive a lot on File->Save dialog open Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: studio@anchev.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After updating recently to the latest version of Chromium using 'zypper up' (57.0.2987.98 (64-bit)) I noticed that something strange happens. When a download or file->save dialog is opened a strong hard disk activity can be heard and that continues for about 30-60 seconds. To clarify: that is not the result of actual file saving but happens only on opening the File->Save dialog box. Even if Cancel is pressed, the scratching continues. That happens only the first time the dialog box is opened. Consequent opens of the dialog box don't result in hdd scratching. My browser cache is set to a tmpfs directory and I have 32Gb of RAM (lots of it free), running Plasma, so this is unrelated to caching (I think): chromium --disk-cache-dir=/home/username/.cache/chromium --disk-cache-size=104857600 In previous versions this has never happened. Testing the same thing but with Google Chrome 57.0.2987.110 (64-bit) doesn't show the same issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
