Description
I found this issue by setting my ~/Downloads folder’s ordering preferences. As it failed to get saved and asked around on #gnome I was told to try gvfs-info ~/Downloads | grep nautilus. The output was empty as of stdout, but a warning was printed on the screen:
(gvfs-info:19215): GVFS-WARNING **: can't init metadata tree /home/polesz/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home: wrong size
The file was indeed 0 bytes long; removing it made gvfs to recreate it with the correct headers, and thus the nautilus ordering preferences could be saved. I suspect a filled hard drive caused the corruption back few months ago.
Version: 1.24.x
