I've noticed that this problem of gvfsd-smb taking up 50% of my CPU
(100% of 1 of 2 cores) only exists if I am not logged in to a Windows
share first via the terminal. In other words, I have Windows shares I
like to access with my Linux computer running Xubuntu 16.04. If I open
nemo (my main file manager I like) and click on "Network" on the left-
hand side, then click on my Windows computer name ("Gabriel-Toshiba" in
my case), gvfsd-smb locks up my CPU.*However,* if I *first* mount one of my windows shares via the terminal with this command: "sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.106/dev /home/gabriel/mnt/test -o username=gabriel,uid=gabriel,gid=gabriel" and *then* navigate through my network via nemo, it works fine (I am able to actually navigate into my network shares, including others I did *not* mount), and it does NOT take up 100% of one of my CPUs! So, that's my work-around for now: use the terminal to mount a share before trying to click around the Network in a file manager. -- 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 samba: Unknown Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gvfs 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.
