Just adding my vote here.  I have seen this ever since upgrading to 11.10 on multiple machines.
It is really annoying.

This happens on a 64-bit desktop and a 32-bit laptop.   (I can't remember, but I think the laptop had 11.10 installed
directly and wasn't an upgrade.)

I have been using Ubuntu for years and haven't see this on earlier
releases.

Title:
  gvfsd-metadata causes 100% CPU usage

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
