Title:
  Mounting SMB:// shares from a Mac, via GVFS, doesn't allow copying of
  data in either direction

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) changed Samba for Apple's proprietary SMB stack.
  This stack has incompatibilities with the "default" smb:// mount modes
  supported by Samba and Gnome VFS.

  If I mount the system via Nautilus, opening the location
  smb://computer/share, I can see the file list and navigate it, but I
  can neither copy to nor from the machine (error is
  NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED, reflected in an error dialog with the message
  "Function not implemented".

  If I mount the filesystem using mount.cifs, adding the options
  "noserverino,nounix,sec=ntlmssp", then I can access all of the
  information fine on the far end.

  It is possible that this bug could go away if using Samba 3.6 - which
  fully supports SMB2 - but I've not been able to verify it because
  there are no Samba 3.6 packages for Natty or Oneric yet, and because
  I've been reluctant to roll my own Samba packages.

  Is there a way to configure GVFS to use a set of mounting options when
  connecting to a specific resource? I.e. "when connecting to this
  server, use these options" (like the ones mentioned above)?
