Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better. After looking though your bug report, there seems to be multiple separate issues. When writing a bug report, it is generally better to keep a particular report focused on one single problem, otherwise they can become difficult to follow. Because of this, I am going to close this report, but I will go through some of your points and advise what to do next.
You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures "When mounting a share using nautilus: - nautilus never really mounts it, instead it creates a "shortcut" to the share using smb:// protocol - many apps have no access to such a pseudo-mounted share making it useless in a enterprise environment when working on files hosted on that share (ex: gedit, totem, zend studio, wine apps ... )" The 'smb:///' is basically part of the abstraction provided by GVFS/GIO. The GNOME applications that you mention (Gedit, Totem, File-roller etc) are currently being ported to GIO as part of the GNOME 2.24 develpment cycle (which will be in Intrepid 8.10). For other applications outside of GNOME, it would be the responsibility of the application developers to port their applications to GIO (if they wanted to). You could raise separate bug reports against these applications. These reports would then be set to 'Wishlist' or 'Wont Fix' by a bug triager. You can still access Samba shares using non-GIO applications, using the gvfs-fuse mount. Any Samba shared mounted via Nautilus will also appear in ~/.gvfs, so your points above should be a non-issue at the moment. "- free disk space is not available" I assume you mean that Nautilus doesn't show the free space on a Samba mount? If this is the case, then you might be better off opening a bug report in the upstream bug tracker, as this is something that is unlikely to be implemented directly by the Ubuntu team (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/) "- burning files with brasero is not possible (files exists but have size of 0kb) Tried burning images pdf and .avi: same result" I don't understand what you mean here, but this could be a bug. You should report this problem in it's own bug report, providing the following information: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). "When mounting thought fstab - it is far to complicated for an average user or a network administrator (doing such a configuration on all computer in an enterprise wastes time)" I think you would be better off opening up a discussion about this on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ "- I had many problem burning files directly from a such mounted share witch implies to copy the files to local computer to burn them" This might be a bug or you might just need some support. I think you would be better off reporting this problem in the support tracker where somebody else can provide assistance. The support tracker can be found at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. Your support request can be converted to a bug report later on if this is needed. "- if a share has a symlink, it is shown has a broken symlink (witch is not the case using a windows computer or the smb:// protocol) - when copying a file, the progress is not shown properly." These sound like they might be bugs, but I can't say for definate without more information. You should probably open separate bug reports for the two issues containing the following information: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
