This is a really old bug and the versions of Ubuntu it references are
out of support now. Can you verify whether this is still a problem on
Xenial (16.04) or Artful (17.10) and reset the bug to "confirmed" if you
can recreate the issue.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
gvfsd-metadata process pegs CPU while nautilus waits
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have been getting delays of 30-60 seconds when nautilus copies data
on an NTFS filesystem in a 1.5 TB My Book external USB disk from
Western Digital. I was able to see the process that has 100% of the
CPU and causes spinners in my Nautilus Windows until it finishes. It
is gvfsd-metadata, for which I have no man page.
Today, I closed an earlier bug thinking that the problem had resolved
itself as I had nominal functionality with nautilus then. I noticed
that the problem returned and looked at running processes with top (1)
to see what process appeared and what it was using when it ran.
I don't know what gvfsd-metadata does or how important it is, but it
seems to be the hog process. As soon as it exits I get the FM back. It
appears whenever I move (drag) files from one dir to another. Another
bug where I had long delays moving a 1.0 GB dir from the boot drive to
this external drive, may be the same problem.
