The same problem at 14.04, x64. However, I have traced the origin of this bug for me. I found that this bug begins to appear after I click on the video in the browser, right-click> Save frame as. After that, the picture is saved and there is an overload (devours ~ 40% CPU - I have four cores) - gvfsd have to kill the process. I watch a video in Firefox addon via "HTML5 Video Everywhere!". Now I just do not click on the button and do not face this problem. If we consider that such GVFS, it is likely that some program, recording file causes a bug that produces an infinite loop command. I think anyone with this bug occurs continuously, it is worth trying to observe and track its origin, and what causes it.

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.
