Yes, I had... inherited some mounts of NFS from client machines, bad
practice indeed. On your advice have eliminated them. Now I would need
to wait and see if the problem reoccurs...
There is also a SMB mount but it is user level, I don't think I can
eliminate that.

OK, but how should I use strace with nautilus? Perhaps put it in a
script at /usr/bin/nautilus with redirection to a log file?

Yes, because -HUP and -TERM did nothing I was forced to -KILL.
But what exactly -KILL not working means?

But check what? I am used to fuser or lsof a file or directory, but
what should be the parameter here?
