Confirmed that usefree fixes this. I manually mounted one of my USB drives with usefree, and df didn't hang.
However, when I popped open gconf-editor, and updated /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options to have the additional option "usefree", I get an error window saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume ..." So I guess g-v-m needs to be updated to know that this is a valid option? -- nautilus hangs on accessing vfat drives - statfs() blocks for a long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
