Hi
Unfortunately I can't tell exactly since when this happens.
When I start pcmanfm it immediately uses 99+% of a CPU core, w/o doing anything! (Well, I assume it's doing something but I can't see what...)
This happens on my desktop and laptop.
Before writing a bug report, can someone replicate this ?
I tried downgrading some of the packages pcmanfm (gtk2) depends on but w/o effect... (Don't think that I've to reboot for this ?)
Any idea how to debug this ?

I have had the same problem for a couple weeks now on my Arch box. On my Fedora box, pcmanfm still works fine.

Ok
It's a problem with my fstab.
When commenting out the removable devices pcmanfm works normally...

I've the same problem too. The only solution I've find is install gvfs

I've had a similar problem with pcmanfm for the last couple of weeks. I have gvfs installed and my fstab does NOT contain any mountable devices. Most of time pcmanfm behaves as it always did. Now a cpu loop starts when I use the unmount icon in pcmanfm. If i umount the drive in a terminal it's OK, the drive disappears in pcmanfm and it does not chew all the cpu time up.
Once pcmanfm goes loopy closing its window does not help, again in a terminal a big 'killall -KILL pcmanfm' is required to stop the loop.
rebootl, if you can replicate this it's worth creating a bug report.

I mount my external disks and dvd readers with fstab. In fact I'd never used gvfs before (I don't need a Trash file and lots of gnome dependencies, last time I installed it) . Like rebootl says, when I comment out the external dvd readers (not the external disks) pcmanfm fails

Thanks for the replies.
Edit: Since some have similar/same problems, I'll write a bug report.
I believe installing gvfs could solve the problem but the hole point for me in using pcmanfm, instead of another file manager, is to avoid these deps...
Edit: I was a bit too fast before. I found that disabling the auto-mount options in the preferences solves the problem! Since I don't need them that's fine for me.
Regards

When I go to pcmanfm preferences, then to volume management, then uncheck all 3 of the automount boxes (i.e. turn off automount), I still get 50% cpu use after I use the file manager a bit. And the system then stays in that condition.

Now pcman is working properly since I've added gvfs. For some reason pcmanfm was doing fine without gvfs until recently.
