I had this issue (nearly 100% CPU use by gvfsd-smb-browse) on a laptop that is running Ubuntu 16.04.
In my case, removing the package "gvfs-backends" (which is needed for Samba and other things) is a workaround for the CPU usage issue. I don't use Samba on this laptop, and at least so far, I haven't noticed any other ill effects. Your mileage may vary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409032 Title: gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1409032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
