@Sebastien Bacher: please, could you drive developers attention on this bug? I feel that it should be assigned and risen to "Critical" status; it's a core regression which will probably bite a lot of unaware and non-technical user.
We have a report of data loss too...; and I would not be surprised if this could be changed in a DOS someway (processes stuck in "D" state are really dangerous). I am saying this because (respectfully) I have the sensation that this bug is being severely underestimated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Problem ======= Copying files to and from samba shares (this includes Windows shares) is unreliable in Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04 when using nautilus' integrated samba client (gvfs-smb): The copy randomly hangs after a few files or a few GB. Workaround ========== Until gvfs-smb is fixed, use the kernel samba client (cifs) that works reliably, is faster, but needs some terminal commands to get going: # sudo -s # mkdir /mnt/cifs # mount -t cifs -o user=YOUR_SAMBA_USER -o uid=YOUR_LINUX_USER "//SAMBA_SERVER/SAMBA_SHARE" /mnt/cifs It will ask for you password, you can then access the shared files at /mnt/cifs.
