[Bug 31122] Re: rhythmbox freezes on startup when samba share not available

[xtknight]

I have the same problem with rhythmbox, even when Samba shares are not
mounted.  I can stop the service (/etc/init.d/samba stop), and it will
still happen.  It's not until I disable the samba service in
Administration->Services and reboot that the problem is solved.

I don't have music added off of a samba share either.  VMware also
freezes on File->Open, and I have never added a file off of samba shares
to VMware.  One time, my GNOME desktop also refused to start.  Samba is
freezing a lot of apps.

dmesg:
[82755.018586] smb_add_request: request [ffff81000b51fe40, mid=171] timed out!
[82785.102403] smb_add_request: request [ffff81000b51fe40, mid=172] timed out!

NFS seems to have similar problems.  "Unmounting remote filesystems..."
will freeze at reboot.  Occasionally, the samba service will take 20
minutes to init.d restart as well.
