--- Comment #10 from Steve Vialle <stev...@runbox.com> ---
This affects *any* slow filesystem when accessed through conventional mounts
(i.e. not explicitly via kio). e.g.
Sleeping/spun-down mechanical disks.
Any kind of broken/disconnected/unresponsive mount.
NFS/CIFS/FUSE/SSHFS etc. mounted by any mechanism besides kio (fstab, autofs,
gvfs, etc.).

Any of these will cause dolphin to become completely unresponsive (and often
other parts of plasma as well), regardless of whether the affected path is
currently in view or in any way critical to system functionality (note *all*
mounted disks spinning up when opening dolphin on an unrelated path).
Better yet, this will cause all open dolphin instances to freeze and any
attempt to open a new instance to hang until all mounts are available and
loaded, rendering a core component of the DE completely unusable.

This has been going on (with minor variations) for at least a decade now, and
the root cause is deeper than dolphin.

See #448361, #474403, #454722, #492815, #441077, and many more I CBF tracking
down. This been regularly reported (and promptly buried and forgotten) for
years.
