gvfs timeout (trusty)

[ubuntu-tester]

Hello,

I have an issue with gvfs-mount on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty).

Summary :
When I mount a Windows share (CIFS) via gvfs-mount, and I don't access to it while about 30 minutes, then when I try to access to it via Nautilus or a terminal (ls command for example), I have to wait about 20 seconds to display the directory contents.

Below, how to reproduce the problem :
1. Mount a Windows share (CIFS) via gvfs-mount command : 'gvfs-mount smb://ubuntu-tester@winsrv/d$'
2. Check the share is mounted in '/run/user/999/gvfs/smb-share:server=winsrv,share=d$,user=ubuntu-tester'
3. Wait about 30 minutes without accessing to this share
4. Access to this share via 'ls' command for example : 'ls /run/user/999/gvfs/smb-share:server=winsrv,share=d$,user=ubuntu-tester/Temp/test' => I have to wait about 20 seconds to display 'ls' output like if the share is umounted after x minutes without accessing to it and gvfs-mount mounts it when I try to access to it.

If I run 'strace ls /run/user/999/gvfs/smb-share:server=winsrv,share=d$,user=ubuntu-tester/Temp/test',
I have to wait at :
stat("/run/user/999/gvfs/smb-share:server=winsrv,share=d$,user=ubuntu-tester/Temp/test",
of the line :
stat("/run/user/999/gvfs/smb-share:server=winsrv,share=d$,user=ubuntu-tester/Temp/test", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

I found this issue on my computer at work (specific configuration) and on my computer at home (standard configuration).
Tested with Windows XP / 7 / 2003 Server Shares.

I don't have this issue on Ubuntu 12.04.

If you need complementary information, don't hesitate to ask me.

Thanks for your help.
