As well as removing hosts lookup in the smb.conf file (#29) you can also prevent this behaviour by installing the libnss-winbind package and adding wins to the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
Ex: hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns That should allow samba to find all the hosts it sees in broadcasts, without sending the lookup to the broken dns server(s). Alternatively, you an modify your search domain so you don't inherit an internet domain from the router. -- 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/1409032 Title: gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in samba package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Example: I use Virtualbox and mount a .vdi on an SMB server. Using gvfsd-smb (browsing within Gnome to find the share), gvfsd-smb uses up to 50% CPU which slows down the entire system when accessing the network share. Mounting using sudo ($ sudo mount -t smbfs -o guest,nounix,noperm //server/share /media/share) so that cifs is used uses around 8% CPU. The difference is dramatic! If I didn't have sudo access my machine would grind to a halt when trying to use the remote share.
