I've run into this bug tonight. I was trying to access my smb home directory at the University. All the user's personal home directories are located under a single /Home share so there's quite a number of them. But even when you try and directly open the personal home directory (typing in the full URI) it seems to be doing some sort of "stat" operation on the parent directory (/Home). Wireshark show's many hundreds of FIND_NEXT2 requests going on (so it's certainly doing something!).
It works fine using the standard smbclient command and I've also just tried mounting it using gvfs-mount and gvfs-ls and that seems to be OK too (Shows the single directory in about 1/2 a second): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gvfs-mount smb://eigg.sms.ed.ac.uk/Home/sxxxxxx [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gvfs-ls smb://eigg.sms.ed.ac.uk/Home/sxxxxxx welcome It seems fine right up until we try to list the parent directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gvfs-ls smb://eigg.sms.ed.ac.uk/Home/ # ... Very long wait... # A block of a a dozen files or so appear approximately every 10 seconds... Though from Wireshark we can see that it's dozens of files per second. Even after killing gvfs-ls the traffic continues. It's only after killing gvfsd-smb that it stops. I'm wondering if Nautilus for some reason enumerates the parent directory when you browse to it. That would certainly slow it down. Also, upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549463 looks to be the same bug.
