> I can browse to my SMB shares just by killing and restarting the gvfsd-smbd process

This magic solution has fixed my problems connecting my 21.04 Ubuntu clients to a Synology NAS, thank you @BloodyIron (wasting ~60 minutes of time trying to find a work around).

While waiting for the proper upstream fix if it ever appears, is there no way to add this workaround into Gnome? When trying to connect to an SMB and getting a failure, restart gvfsd-smbd in the background and then when the user tries again, voila, it works without a problem.

I understand Gnome is open-source and I am grateful for all the work of the volunteers who maintain it!
