[Bug 164120] Re: file manager hangs when mounted nfs drive is no longer accessible

[Craig]

In Ubuntu 12.04, after installing autofs and setting up nfs autofs
mounts, my nautilus temporarily hangs (window greys, freezes, becomes
unresponsive) when navigating local directories, if the server exporting
the autofs nfs mounts is offline.  This is observed even when navigating
local directories that do not contain any of the autofs mount points,
i.e. navigating somewhere under /home, with autofs nfs mount points that
are somewhere under /var.  Although the hang is temporary, it's a
looooong temporary.  I noticed a previous comment suggesting that using
separate threads could fix this problem in nautilus, even if the problem
could technically be attributed to nfs or autofs.  Sounds sensible.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I am using ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy 386 version.

  I am using a laptop which I use to in home and office. At home I am
  having network drive which mounted through nfs in home.

  I normally put my laptop to suspend and then bring over the same to
  work. When I access nautilus in this case, it just simply hangs it
  does not open any folder neither from Places or directly typing
  command nautilus.

  This is very annoying as I have to reboot the computer just for
  nautilus hanging.
