[UPDATE] Here the problem persists. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Tried the solution of emptying the metadata folder described above and it eliminates the mentioned problem for just a few days. Done this a couple of times. Now, i am trying the other proposed solution above of disabling gvfsd: "chmod -x /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata". Waiting for a fix.

I would like to add that I don't think that the original bug reported with this bug report, is identical with the way this gvfs-metadata bug behaves in its later version as running rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs- metadata stops the infinite disk writing for just few minutes and that it starts again. Not only does it put the HDD under a strain (especially SSDs), it also kills the battery on laptop devices quicker especially when an ordinary HDD is used. The finding that the bug is easily reproducible with the Super Start firefox extension is interesting. I'm using a similar extension on both my machines where this bug appears; it's Speed DIal [FWD] in my case. Some previous bug reports mention that the bug is triggered when using HTML5 Video Everywhere - another firefox plugin. Is it possible that some of the libraries used by firefox produce files (or do something else) that than somehow confuse gvfs-metadata and force it to go into infinite writing loop?! If so, can this be also a firefox bug?

[Bug 517021] Re: gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage
Because some people here apparently treat silence as I guess this is fixed, I'll spam here and say this keeps happening for me regularly as well. I've tried various things, killing the process, killing the directory IIRC, but it keeps coming back with 100%, maybe once a week or so, but it's irregular. 1. I've probably seen 100 posts on the Internet saying to delete the metadata folder, but that's not a solution: Even if it does get corrupted, the program MUST NOT go crazy and into an infinite loop or hog the CPU. That said, I do NOT think that metadata file corruption is the problem, because the problem keeps coming back for me. 2. I have huge NFS drives with many files mounted. If it tries to index or capture them, then it's sure to cause problems. People above said that it tries to index Samba drives. That's massively misguided and should not happen. It should only index local drives. Network drives can be huge, and often contain data that's not important to this user, but to other employees. In my case, it's media files (TV recordings, music etc.), but still *way* too huge to be indexed on the client. Even attempting to do this is braindead (this is technical term, not an insult). 3. Last, but most importantly, no program has the right to index all my drives without my *explicit* permission. Ask me, once. Give me a choice of which drives I want indexed, and where that index should be stored. This can be dangerous. People regularly keep private stuff on a physical USB drive, for the explicit reason to not leave trails on the local computer - whatever reason they might have. Having metadata about files stored on a *different* drive (partition) is a privacy threat by its very nature and should never be done without explicit user approval. This stuff is totally misguided and should be disabled RIGHT NOW, then fixed, then it can be enabled again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517021 Title: gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/517021/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, mucku Your solution worked in my laptop. It seems that ~/.local/share/gvfs- metadata/ folder contain metadata from network that I have connected with. The problems is, I only connected to those network once. Nautilus/gvfsd seems to crawl any network (specially samba network) when I'm connected to the network in my office and in some hotspot area. When I back home, gvfsd try to update the metadata by reopen the samba network folder that of course not exist in my home network. So, I suspect that this is the cause of gvfsd-metadata to taking whole CPU resource to try to find the 'missing' directory and read it's content to update the metadata.

[Bug 517021] Re: gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage
The problem persists after an upgrade to lucid (64-bits). It occurs after copying a few thousand files. It makes the system highly unusable and hot. -- gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
