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.
