I already eliminated them. Will check if this option is relevant to
SMB and to the user's needs, thanks!

Great, thanks for the info! This looks like something indeed.
Will try to put strace in front of Nautilus... this won't be beautiful
with ~20 users and several days between failures, but looks like being

Also will try to lsof a running process with -c nautilus, is that

Thanks for the tips.
