I've been running Ubuntu for about 7 months now, and currently have
12.10 running on a Dell Precision M90. I am experiencing this problem
with my NAS. The files copied fine but when I try to read or copy the
other way (to my computer from the NAS) with large directories the
Nautilus hangs.
Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to follow through
on this fix? It is not entirely clear to me how to do this. One thing
I should mention, I've only been into the command line a few times, so
I'm pretty new to the Linux world.

Title:
nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share
Status in GVFS:
Fix Released
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “gvfs” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
Impact:
copies from/to samba share often end up hanging
Test case:
- visit a smb location in nautilus
- copies data from/to it (some non trivial directories makes the issues
easier to trigger)
- the copy should complete without hanging
Regression potentiel:
Check that nautilus is still working correctly and than you don't have issues
copying data from/to remote locations

Problem
===
Copying files to and from samba shares (this includes Windows shares) is
unreliable in Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04 when using nautilus' integrated
samba client (gvfs-smb): The copy randomly hangs after a few files or a few GB.
Workaround
==
Until gvfs-smb is fixed, use the kernel samba client (cifs) that works
reliably, is faster, but needs some terminal commands to get going:
# sudo -s
# mkdir /mnt/cifs
# mount -t cifs -o user=YOUR_SAMBA_USER -o uid=YOUR_LINUX_USER
//SAMBA_SERVER/SAMBA_SHARE /mnt/cifs
It will ask for you password, you can then access the shared files at
/mnt/cifs.
