Caja runs constantly and restarts after I kill it, using 10-20% cpu on each of 4 cores. If I stop it (but do not kill it) all is fine. When it runs the hard disk is constantly running as well. What is going on. Why can I not kill it and why is it reading the hd all the time on its own??? This started after I accepted the last update today... (don't remember what it contained)

Forgot to mention it started an unnamed process that started and disappeared with new PID every 5-10 seconds. – scanex Jan 20 '19 at 09:49

It is possible that this is caused by thumbnail generator of Caja. See similar problem with Nautilus. – N0rbert Jan 20 '19 at 10:14

Then I can recommend to ask on MATE-friendly https://ubuntu-mate.community/ . – N0rbert Jan 20 '19 at 12:29

Yes it seems to have something to do with a process called by Caja: atril-thumbnail. But even when I delete all the failed thumbnails as suggested it does not make any difference. – scanex Jan 20 '19 at 12:33
