[Bug 656009] Re: /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-afc-volume-monitor kills polar bears

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

After patching usbmuxd to actually build with inotify support i no
longer see gvfs-afc-volume-monitor wakups using powertop in raring. The
patch should be easy enough to SRU into quantal & precise. Is that
wanted/needed?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  On an idle system, powertop shows gvfs-afc-volume-monitor waking up
  once per second.  To do what, I cannot say; gvfs-afc-volume-monitor
  appears to be a monitor for iPods and iPads, neither of which have I
  ever had connected to ths machine.  This constantly polling daemon
  looks to me like a failure to understand and integrate with udev.
  Please think of the polar bears, and get rid of this pointless daemon.
