Comment 28 for bug 212789

In Hardy Beta, you had to manually install it. I was not aware they had included it by default in the official release, but I am very glad they did. The only other real complaint (besides stability) that I have with it is the location of the shares. I really think they should be somewhere more visible, contained in a folder with a more meaningful name (e.g. ~/Volumes).

Like everyone else, I am also experiencing this bug. However, I actually have all my important stuff mounted using the /etc/fstab file. People tell me it's archaic to mount SMB shares using fstab, but it's the only reliable way to mount shares. I know they are thinking about phasing out the fstab file, but they really need to get gvfs reliable and matured before they do. Thus far, aside from bugs like these, they have done surprisingly well with its integration.
