Same symptoms here and I have no Mac. But I have a NAS (Synology) and yes, I'm accessing some shares on it. One more word on accessing those shares. From a cold boot, I can access them from Nautilus simply by browsing my network (simple network at home), but after same times, after closing Nautilus or closing the laptop, when the laptop is back online I can't access those shares anymore even if they were still listed on the Nautilus network part... I still can access them typing something like smb://diskstation/homes for example. That happened this morning on now I'm seeing this process at 100%...
I'm on 12.04 64 bits (fully updated). -- 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/951585 Title: gvfsd-afp consumes 100% of processor cycles Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Happens on an irregular basis on 12.04 and I think I've experienced it on 11.10. For no reason gvfsd-afp starts up. Cooling fan kicks in, system becomes laggy. Easily cured using system monitor and killing the process. Someone on the Ubuntu Forum asked if I have a Mac on the network and the answer is yes, an iMac and there are shares on that machine I can access.
