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: gnome-keyring-d(5991): CW /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/Domyślna_baza_kluczy.keyring gnome-keyring-d(5991): O /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-3FW4BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): W /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-3FW4BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): CW /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/Domyślna_baza_kluczy.keyring gnome-keyring-d(5991): O /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-T855BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): W /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-T855BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): CW /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/Domyślna_baza_kluczy.keyring gnome-keyring-d(5991): O /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-IRR5BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): W /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-IRR5BY gnome-keyring-d(5991): CW /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/Domyślna_baza_kluczy.keyring gnome-keyring-d(5991): O /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-VJDKBY gnome-keyring-d(5991): W /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/.temp-VJDKBY gnome-keyring-d(5991): CW /home/piotrek/.local/share/keyrings/Domyślna_baza_kluczy.keyring
If google-chrome is the issue, you could try launching google-chrome with --password-store=basic as a temporary workaround.
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
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.
