Title:
  GVFS Samba mounts time out after inactivity

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 14.04, gvfs version 1.20.1.-1ubuntu1, Samba mounts time out
  after a period of inactivity. I did some network traffic logging
  between gvfs and cifs as any samba mounts via cifs never time out.

  I discovered that CIFS periodicly sends an SMB Echo Request packet to
  keep the socket connection open while GVFS fails to do this. As a
  result a file server may kill the inactive connection however the
  mount inside of the file browser stays around. As a result, attempts
  to access the disconnected share results in waiting for an error box
  to pop up just so it can be unmounted and remounted.
