Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 14.04, gvfs version 1.20.1.-1ubuntu1, Samba mounts time out
after a period of inactivity. I did some network traffic logging between
gvfs and cifs as any samba mounts via cifs never time out.
I discovered that CIFS periodicly sends an SMB Echo Request packet to
keep the socket connection open while GVFS fails to do this. As a result
a file server may kill the inactive connection however the mount inside
of the file browser stays around. As a result, attempts to access the
disconnected share results in waiting for an error box to pop up just so
it can be unmounted and remounted.
