Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 217664
Persistence of out of date NFS mounts causing startup delay
Last modified: 2008-03-18 14:33:46 EDT
Description of problem: Recently I have changed ISP, which has led to a change of network address at home. This means my NFS mounts are of course at different addresses than they were before. The problem is that at GNOME session startup gnome-terminal is starting up and trying to open a tab with one of the old NFS mount locations. This is causing autofs to try and mount the old address, which doesn't work but takes a long time to fail, causing nautilus to hang whilst this is going on. The odd thing is that I have obviously not had a tab open at the old NFS address for a week now, since the change to the new network. I'm not sure whether this should be considered a bug in gnome-terminal or gnome-session - please reassign if necessary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.14.3-1.fc5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to GNOME 2. 3. Actual results: Nautilus and the initial terminal hang, waiting for the non-existing NFS mount Expected results: Nautilus and the terminal should start normally Additional info:
Perhaps the component should be changed to gnome-terminal because this problem seems to be caused by terminal wanting to open up 'obsolete' tabs i.e. from a previous session, not the last one? Though that might be caused by gnome-session.
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 5 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
