I dug some information on this. First, the workaround is: killall gvfsd-sftp
The bug is very much related to these gnome bugs: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559065 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563793 gvfs should be smart enough to unmount shares after a timeout if the share can't be reached. This also could be done in Nautilus with more user configurable parameters. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #559065 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559065 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #563793 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563793 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366840 Title: sftp freezes nautilus after standby / resume cycle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1366840/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
