Comment 22 for bug 210468

Here is a bog-simple patch I created for gvfs-0.2.4 that skips any root directory with a filesystem type of "autofs".

To my mind this is just a workaround: the real answer is that the list of filesystem types to skip should be configurable, I presume via an entry in gconf. However, that involves a LOT more work in code I'm not familiar with and this fix is easy. This has been working for me for the day so far: no messages in the log file.

I really wanted to do this because I've been seeing a problem where, every few days, my system gets sluggish, NFS mounts hang, FireFox downloads hang, etc. I don't know what's going on (nothing much in the logs) but the one thing all these situations have in common is when I do "ps" I see 25-30 instances of gvfsd-trash running instead of one. The only thing concerning in the logs are these .Trash references. I have no other proof that these things are related but I figured I'd fix this one and we'll see if it helps.
