I have been plagued by a service named gvfsd-metadata running frequently and consuming as much as 60% of my CPU. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any matches when I searched in this forum with keyword "gvfsd-metadata".
Searching the Internet, however, I did find many complaints about it on the boards of Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Some of the proposed solutions were:
Code: Select all
pkill gvfsd-metadata
Code: Select all
rm -rf .local/share/gvfs-metadata
Code: Select all
rm /usr/libexec/gvfsd-metadata
Code: Select all
mv /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata.disabled
Any and all help will be appreciated.
