Description PM 2016-01-27 11:19:55 UTC
Now this is a weird one.

Whenever I boot the system and open google-chrome, gnome-keyring-daemon wakes up and proceeds to write close to 1 GB of data... somewhere. 

# cat /proc/`pidof gnome-keyring-daemon`/io
rchar: 54262659
wchar: 971207633
syscr: 28892
syscw: 41068
read_bytes: 1785856
write_bytes: 973275136
cancelled_write_bytes: 0

This is not very healthy for my SSD.

I can't tell what file it's writing to (any tips?), but free disk space doesn't shrink afterwards, so I guess it's writing some temporary files?

I've never actually used gnome-keyring for anything and don't know anything about it. This started happening (I think) after I got rid of KDE and switched to Cinnamon.

Ok, I used fatrace: https://www.piware.de/2012/02/fatrace-report-system-wide-file-access-events/

The trace is flooded with this:

If google-chrome is the issue, you could try launching google-chrome with --password-store=basic as a temporary workaround.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-05-29 12:44:42 UTC
Are you still hitting this? Well, I am not sure if maybe launching seahorse from a terminal will show something about your keyring

Also, what is your gnome-keyring version
Comment 5 PM 2016-05-29 13:30:17 UTC
I'm still hitting this on google-chrome-50.0.2661.102 and gnome-keyring-3.18.3

Launching seahorse from the console only prints one line:

    seahorse-Message: unsupported key server uri scheme: ldap

and doesn't trigger this bug.
Comment 6 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-10-28 00:40:55 UTC

So I'm not seeing this.

Are you still seeing this problem your system?
