Why you changed the status to "Fix released"? What you mean by "fix" - in my opinon periodical manual (or made by cron) removing of the contents of ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/ and killing of gvfsd-metadata processes could not be treated as "fix".
The problem still persists on 10.04 ans is very annoying, especially when home directories reside on nfs server: it lead to server's hang very often: each workstation begins to generate up to 100mbit/sec traffic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517021 Title: gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gvfs My disk space was really full at one moment, no byte left free. People say, that does corrupt the files in the ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata folder, so the gvfsd-metadata can't read it without being screwed up. Workaround: run "rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata" Expected results: gvfsd-metadata should be able to handle the no space left situation. --- Original description --- After installing 9.10 Ubuntu 64bit browsing and opening folder in nautilus or Gnome-commander take several minutes when there are many files in it e.g. 10.000. Interestingly Midnight-commander does not have this problem. Opening such folders does not hang with MC. Using "top" i can see that "gvfsd-metadata" is using 100% CPU and when i kill it the computer stops "hanging". I am using the 32bit version of Karmic too and there is no such Problem (although tested on a different computer). Please fix this because it is highly annyoing. Right now i am killing it every 20s with the watch command to be able to work at all.
