• gvfs-1.4.3-18.el6.x86_64

Issue

• For NFS mounted directories, Nautilus doesn't automatically update the contents of a directory window when the contents of that directory change.
• Pressing F5 to refresh the window does successfully update the contents, but that's not a very workable solution.

Resolution

• The issue has been fixed by following errata release RHBA-2016-0968. Update the system with glib2-2.28.8-5.el6 to resolve this issue.
