I am running 16-04.02 and have not seen the problem again.

This is a really old bug and the versions of Ubuntu it references are
out of support now. Can you verify whether this is still a problem on
Xenial (16.04) or Artful (17.10) and reset the bug to "confirmed" if you
can recreate the issue.

Re: [Bug 716280] Re: gvfsd-metadata process pegs CPU while nautilus waits

I think that I know how to cause this at will. It is easy to do if you are
impatient with a slow disk or slow driver for a filesystem. Just move a dir
before nautalis is done with it.

Of course the clue to what is really happening is to deal with what
gvfsd-metadata depends on. If I don't get the problem if I am just moving
files from a shell prompt, but I'm waiting for nautilus to do thumbnails of
images, but it lets me go off and do something to the filesystem state that
confuses the gvfsd-metadata process, that will lead to corruption of the
cache, which I assume is a heap of C or C++ structs, and every time it comes
back and tries to navigate that it will get hung. I don't know if some locks
are needed in the code to prevent another file operation from touching the
cache wile one is still in progress, just a guess. Just clobbering the cache
is a work around, but does it have any risks, and if so is there a better
way to prevent the corruption? Should an attempt to navigate away from a dir
that nautalis is busy generating meadata, stop that gracefully?

 Title:
  gvfsd-metadata process pegs CPU while nautilus waits

 Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

 Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I have been getting delays of 30-60 seconds when nautilus copies data
  on an NTFS filesystem in a 1.5 TB My Book external USB disk from
  Western Digital. I was able to see the process that has 100% of the
  CPU and causes spinners in my Nautilus Windows until it finishes. It
  is gvfsd-metadata, for which I have no man page.

  Today, I closed an earlier bug thinking that the problem had resolved
  itself as I had nominal functionality with nautilus then. I noticed
  that the problem returned and looked at running processes with top (1)
  to see what process appeared and what it was using when it ran.

  I don't know what gvfsd-metadata does or how important it is, but it
  seems to be the hog process. As soon as it exits I get the FM back. It
  appears whenever I move (drag) files from one dir to another. Another
  bug where I had long delays moving a 1.0 GB dir from the boot drive to
  this external drive, may be the same problem.
