I can confirm the problem on my system:
gvfsd-metadata[PID]: g_udev_device_has_property: assertion 'G_UDEV_IS_DEVICE
(device)' failed
(hundrets of entries ...)
As a temporary workaround I killed (only) the gvfsd-metadata process (will
auto-respawan, unless changed in systemd) and erased the local gfvs-metadata
directory (will be recreated with a file in it):
$ sudo pkill gvfsd-metadata
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata
After that the logs disappeared from my system.
Removing removing its binary /usr/libexec/gvfsd-metadata however is not
a good practice, since it may lock up your system.
As a better alternative I tried to change /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf
like this (right before the </busconfig> directive/tag):
<!-- Added by TRON-DELTA.ORG for Xubuntu SE 2018 (3 lines) -->
<policy context="default">
<deny send_destination="org.gtk.vfs.Metadata"/>
</policy>
and changed /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata via:
$ sudo chmod 000 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata
Unfortunately though this led to further problems and a lock-up, not
allowing to open further applications like the Thunar file explorer:
systemd[PID]: gvfs-metadata.service: Failed to execute command: Permission
denied
systemd[PID]: gvfs-metadata.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata: Permission denied
Maybe just the D-Bus rule would have been enough?
