Nautilus SMB Connections

[Christopher Howard <christopher alaskasi com>]

Hi, I run Debian 8 with Nautilus 3.14.1-2. I run my system mainly on a 
network with Windows file shares served by WS2008. I switch back and 
forth a lot, however, between different networks. One bother I run into 
is that when I switch back to the main network, nautilus SMB connections 
seem to be frozen. Nautilus itself is still working, but clicking on 
those shares doesn't do anything. Sometimes if I close Nautilus and 
reopen it, that helps, but not always. If I try to click the unmount 
button, Nautilus says (repeatedly) that the file system is still in use. 
A full system reboot always fixes it, but of course that is a bother. I 
was wondering if anyone had any insight into how the networking code 
works, or configuration tweaking, that might be helpful. Maybe some way 
to speed up how quickly Nautilus resets stale or broken connections...?
