Comment 9 for bug 1687273

Another problem is that since the CIFS shared drive is mounted. It causes the Nautilus File Explorer to crash, this slows down all my processes on my computer, rendering my computer unable to work at all. It needs to be restarted about every 3 hours after that. Completely rendering us not being able to work efficiently. I have to spend precious work time copying over the files from my shared drive to my local computers, make sure that the files are copied correctly and connection did not died or failed. This is not practical.

A Kernel downgrade is not a long term solution, as dowwn grading the kernel could possibly cause something else to break (for example, VirtualBox, which relies on the linux kernel to work properly). It also potentially introduce vulnerability to attack. Given that downgrading could cause more problem, it is just not safe to do for me.

As much as I like Ubuntu, using it for 10+ years now, this has failed big time. Surely will look into other linux distro or switching over to Mac next time I get a new computer.
