Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Save a data: URL (URL that contains the content, with several thousands bytes, often generated by webapps or extensions) as file (There are other ways to run into this problem, e.g. disk full or other error situations. data: URLs are just the easiest way to reproduce.) Actual result: - File is saved - 100% CPU - Extremely high number of file operations by gvfs - billions - Never stops Expected result: Failure to write metadata should just fail, not try again Fix: Patch available and accepted by GNOME https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637095 --- 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.
