** Description changed:

  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.
