meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
my '/var/log/messages' is rife with repetitions of this line:
localhost /etc/gdm/Xsession[400]: (nautilus:1482): GVFS-WARNING **: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corruptioncan someone help me to figure out what is wrong and fix it?

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
Everytime I start evince I get the same error
GVFS-WARNING **: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corruptionDon't have the nautilus errors though.
This is very annoying since I use LaTex from console and get dozens of these error messages whenever I view my pdf. I tried updating to evince 3.8.2 but nothing changed. This only started recently, but I can't figure out which package is responsible.

No? I'd guess gvfs.

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
Sorry, yes. I didn't see it when I first skipped through the logs, but it seems to be the gvfs 1.16.1-1 -> 1.16.1-2 upgrade.

The same problem here every time I start evince, it says:
(evince:2342): GVFS-WARNING **: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corruptionWhat you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
Had the same problem. For me deleting all the files in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/ solved the issue.

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
Are you sure? After deleting gvfs-metadata I still experience the problem, same warnings spamming console output if I launch evince from a terminal. Is it a bug? Has it been reported?

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
I'm sure about log messages, not about the bug

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
The files were probably still open by gdbus/gvfsd/your file manager. They were gone after restarting X, but the files weren't being recreated until after rebooting (I didn't bother much to find out what else needed to be restarted).

Re: meta_journal_iterate: found short sized entry, possible journal corrup
Did all this. Removed files from single user mode, rebooted system into graphical and errors are still there.
