Description Doug Mitchell 2007-11-26 05:15:22 UTC
Description of problem:

When double-clicking on a folder in Nautilus, it check to see if an automounted
directory is available and waits for autofs to timeout.  This causes a 15-20
second delay every time you open a folder.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.20.0-6.fc8

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Double-click on a folder on the local desktop
2.  Wait several seconds
3.  Window finally opens
  
Actual results:
Long delay before window opens

Expected results:
Window should open instantly

Additional info:

Running "strace -e access" revels:

access("/home/doug/Desktop", R_OK|W_OK) = 0
access("/home/doug/Desktop", X_OK)      = 0
access("/home/doug/.Trash", F_OK)       = 0
access("/home/doug/Desktop", R_OK|W_OK) = 0
access("/home/doug/Desktop", X_OK)      = 0
access("/home/doug/Desktop", F_OK)      = 0
access("/home/doug/.nautilus", F_OK)    = 0
access("/net/nfssrv1/export/dropbox", F_OK <unfinished ...>

The access is to a old directory on an old NFS server.  Where is this reference
being saved?

Thanks,
Doug

Comment 2 Doug Mitchell 2007-11-28 06:33:16 UTC
Further investigation show that the NFS automount path was cached in
$HOME/.gtk-bookmarks and was not visible from the GUI, so it could not be
removed without manually editing the file.


Comment 3 Doug Mitchell 2007-12-30 19:50:08 UTC
I would suggest that invalid paths such a stale/failed NFS mounts either be
deleted or exposed through the GUI, maybe with a dialog offering to delete the
bookmark.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 08:41:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 05:20:25 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
