Description William "B.J." Black 2003-08-21 20:40:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
Nautilus appears to cause massive automounting on some automounted /home
directories.  Not all automounts succeed, so nautilus freezes.  Problem is
inconsistent (maybe a background thread that's looking at $CWD/..?).  Never
noticed this particular issue with previous versions of Nautilus.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.2.4-4.E

How reproducible:
Somewhat (I don't get it every time)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use automounter to mount /home.
2. Have some /home mounts unmountable.
3. Browse /home or /home/user
    
Actual results:
Nautilus hangs.  Throbber keeps going, but the window itself is unresponsive.

Expected results:
Nautilus probably shouldn't be causing such massive am activity, and should
probably multithread to avoid deadlocks.

Strange. browsing /home/user shouldn't do anything like that.
/home is a bit different though, nautilus does a filecount on directories it is
showing. However, there is some code to handle automounted directories i think.

If you strace this, does it try to read /home/.hidden all the time?
