Hi Pjpreilly,

I've been using LL as my main OS since 1.06 and the only issue I've come across that uses 100% cpu was the tumbler bug but that was fixed for me ages ago.

For reference here's a copy of post #7 you're refering to above:
Quote:I can cause this at will by using Super Start in Firefox. When I right click & "Add this page to Super Start" on any page it causes this gvfsd-metadata bug & is not related to Nautilus (Thunar running). Linux Lite 2.2 (Xubuntu 14.04 w/ xfce 4.12). I notified Super Start support.

By Super-Start are they referring to the this speed dial add-on?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox...per-start/
That's the one. See the recent posts here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...bug/517021
Well I guess the bad news is I was able to recreate the bug with the Super-Start add-on. The good news is before this I'd never heard of it let alone encounter it, hopefully it will get fixed quickly.
Never lose HOPE!
Hey all. I strongly advice (as an upstream gvfs maintainer) to apply mentioned patch from upstream Bug 637095 to fix problems with metadata:

Open a terminal emulator application, use the ‘cd’ command to navigate to the location of the extracted archive files (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/gvfs-1.23.3), where you will run the ‘./configure && make’ command to configure and compile the program.

After a successful compilation process, run the ‘sudo make install’ command as a privileged user or the ‘make install’ command as root to install gvfs system wide and make it available to all users on your installation.
You might have to install other packages, the error msgs will lead you.
