Transfering large amount of data (>100 GB) from external disk to PC on nautilus makes system not responsive or very slow
Steps to reproduce
1.On a freshly installed Fedora 30 (with all updates updates etc performed, no extensions) copy >100 GB data from an external hard disk to the computer using Files (3.32.1-stable). 2. Wait for a few minutes and observe as the system slows down. 3. At times, the system becomes completely non-responsive. Using system monitor, I don't see high RAM or CPU usage...
Reproducible in:
- Flatpak unstable: not tested
- Other:
Current behavior
Large file or large data transfer (I've tested >100 GB) from an external drive to the PC using Nautilus slows the entire system (shell?) down and at times makes it non responsive.
Expected behavior
The large data transfer must occur steadily in the background without affecting other processes or slowing down the shell in general, thus allowing normal work to proceed in parallel with data transfer.
