Understood – it does seem likely that gvfs at fault here. Nothing Shotwell (or anything else) does should cause it to dismount or stop serving prematurely. Unfortunately, I’ve had to switch to using a different product (and operating system) because of this issue. I’ll check back every now and then, though I’m not holding my breath given how long gvfs has had these kinds of problems.

We've not done enough testing on this problem, but it doesn't surprise me that GVFS / Samba might be part of the problem. We don't do anything special for networked libraries, but it's possible our import is too aggressive in trying to pull a lot of information across the wire. -- Jim On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 5:51 AM, Kent Boogaart <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Thanks for the reply. My LM14 (which is up to date) has gvfs version 1.14.0-0ubuntu6 installed. The thing is, I have actually noticed that problem in the past (on LM13) and worked around it by making sure that my imports weren't too bulky. All my photos are in separate folders per year, so I would just import one year at a time, unmounting and remounting the share in between imports. That worked for me on LM13. However, now on LM14 it only takes a dozen photos or so before it dies.

The gvfsd daemon was crashing under the heavy load of an initial large import from a network share. Not actually a rhymthmbox issue, and possibly not a shotwell issue in your case, but a gvfs bug. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/955124 for more details. Does lm14 use the same version? Andy.

I recently upgraded from LM13 and can no longer do this. It imports the first few files and then just.stops. Looking at my server logs, I can see it stops accessing the files on the share altogether. Looking in the Shotwell log I see nothing of note. Is this a known thing, or do I need to collect further diagnostics? Using 0.13.1.
