In Ubuntu 12.04, after installing autofs and setting up nfs autofs mounts, my nautilus temporarily hangs (window greys, freezes, becomes unresponsive) when navigating local directories, if the server exporting the autofs nfs mounts is offline. This is observed even when navigating local directories that do not contain any of the autofs mount points, i.e. navigating somewhere under /home, with autofs nfs mount points that are somewhere under /var. Although the hang is temporary, it's a looooong temporary. I noticed a previous comment suggesting that using separate threads could fix this problem in nautilus, even if the problem could technically be attributed to nfs or autofs. Sounds sensible.

I am using a laptop which I use to in home and office. At home I am having network drive which mounted through nfs in home. I normally put my laptop to suspend and then bring over the same to work. When I access nautilus in this case, it just simply hangs it does not open any folder neither from Places or directly typing command nautilus. This is very annoying as I have to reboot the computer just for nautilus hanging.
