gvfsd-smb breaks (hangs?) on resume

[roothorick]

When the system returns from suspend to RAM, gvfsd-smb stops working entirely. It does not recover even after the system returns to the same network where the remote server is still available and sharing. This will sometimes cause Nautilus to hang too, but not always; not clear on the circumstances that cause that, may be time related. killing gvfsd-smb and remounting brings things back to normal operation.

I would just throw a script somewhere to kill gvfsd-smb on resume, but I can't find a script location that's actually executed on this OS. /etc/pm/sleep.d and /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d are just ignored, even if pm-utils are installed.

Welp, I opted for /etc/network/if-post-down.d/ and that worked. Probably makes more sense there anyway.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug affects me as well
I partially fixed it by killing the gvfsd-smb process but this is a really ugly solution

[Martin Weis (martin-weis-newsadress)]

Regularly happens to me, even without resume.
I often switch Networks (VPN), which might be a reason for time outs (share not available in another network), but generally after a while the connection seems to time out.
A killall gvfsd-smb and killall gvfsd-smb-browse brings back the possibility to connect.

Message is in german here:
Die Wartezeit für die Verbindung ist abgelaufen (connection timed out)

Expected behavior:

* try to re-establish connection, if necessary
