Bug description:
Binary package hint: gvfs
Failure to write metadata results in an infinite loop that keeps
trying to write, thousands of times per second.
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

--- 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.
