@ BloodyIron It looks like the problem you are experiencing is the same issue as I have had. I think the reason that it works after you kill gvfsd-smb-browse is that your FreeNAS server is advertising itself via mDNS, and gvfsd will see that. You don't need SMB1 or WSDD for gvfsd to discover your NAS. But it is also looking for a "Windows Network" (i.e. the Windows "network neighborhood" or workgroup that shows up as a separate subfolder) using SMB1, and that fails if the server does not provide SMB1. Crucially, however, it fails in a way that leaves the gvfsd-smb-browse process in a bad state where it fails to allow browsing of the server even though it has been discovered via mDNS. I encourage you to take a look at my patch, or to use the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~wmaddox3rd/+archive/ubuntu/gvfs-smb-sharelist- patch. It does indeed look like there is a bug here in that attempting discovery via SMB1 somehow breaks browsing of the server discovered via mDNS.

But if a server has disabled the SMB1 protocol, nautilus will show an error when that server is clicked on, instead of showing the shares list. Even with SMB1 disabled, it should still be technically possible to get a share list, since smbclient can do it: andreas@nsnx:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.122.101 Looking up status of 192.168.122.101 D-NO-SMB1 <00> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <03> - B <ACTIVE> D-NO-SMB1 <20> - B <ACTIVE> ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1d> - B <ACTIVE> WORKGROUP <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.122.101 -N WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- print$ Disk Printer Drivers pub_no_smb1 Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (d-no-smb1 server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing. protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE Failed to connect with SMB1 -- no workgroup available andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m NT1 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE andreas@nsnx:~$ smbclient //192.168.122.101/pub_no_smb1 -U ubuntu%ubuntu -m SMB2 WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Try "help" to get a list of possible commands. smb: \> dir .
