This can be EASILY RECREATED with the Super Start 7.3.3 extension in
Firefox.

Just right click on any tab to add to Super Start, click "Add this tab
to Super Start" and the problem will occur in 12.04 as well as 14.04. In
14.04 the processor  saturates 100%.

 In 12.04 the processor doesn't sat 100% but there is some kinda
infinite disk activity.

Title:
  gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gvfs package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  My disk space was really full at one moment, no byte left free. 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.
