Bug#624507: #624507 - Started looping and continuously rewriting metadata file - Debian Bug report logs

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

FYI, upstream [1] provides a series of patches now which are addressing 
the problem and should fix it both for remote and local filesystems 
which can be affected under certain circumstances as well.

The developer is asking everyone who was affected, especially people 
deploying GNOME in a large environment to test the patch set.

It might be worth to apply the patches to gvfs and have the fixed 
package included in a future point update of Debian Wheezy provided that 
the proposed patches work.

We are going to drop Joss' patch "06_metadata_nfs.patch" for some of our 
Debian Wheezy workstations on our network and install a test package 
with the patches provided by upstream to verify the patches work.

If you can, please help testing, too.

Cheers,

Adrian
