Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) using Gnome 2.28.1 and the included
Nautilus. To get around brainstorm #456 I have multiple nfs mounts in
fstab with noauto and user options similar to:
server:/srv/archive /home/user/server/archive nfs
defaults,noauto,user 0 0
These show up as unmounted drives in the Nautilus places panel. If I
click on one it mounts but usually instead of adding the up-arrow icon
to the existing place to show that it is mounted, it duplicates the
place at the bottom of the list and adds the arrow to the duplicate. If
I click on the original place again I get an error message like "Unable
to mount archive" "mount.nfs: /home/user/server/archive is busy or
already mounted". Other open Nautilus windows duplicate the pane.
Sometimes it will report a different nfs mount as if the places entries
are mismatched from the names shown. Sometimes all unmounted places
stop responding to mouse clicks (won't mount) while the mounted entries
act normal. Sometimes a new Nautilus window opens when "Browse media
when inserted" is checked, sometimes the existing window is used.
Sometimes I'll get a DBus "NoReply" error. Sometimes a timeout error
waiting for the mount to appear. Sometimes closing all the Nautilus
windows (but not killing the primary Nautilus process) corrects the
places panel, sometimes not even when the process is killed. Unmounting
all the nfs mounts and closing the windows seems to fix it (usually).
The "usuallys" could imply a timing bug of some sort.
All of this is normal to Nautilus as there is nothing in the logs.
I also noticed that the icons for nfs and nfs4 places are different with
the nfs4 icons being generic drives. I'm not sure if that is related or
not.
