I had the same problem having a over 500 files on a smaba share (samba4). No problems accessing it with my desktop running 12.04 (samba3 client) but kept hanging (with no crash as per bug description) on my laptop running 12.10 (samba3 client).
I have since installed fusesmb and the problem seems to have gone away although I have not carried out extensive testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
