Here is the strace, we can see the two calls to readlink which has the actual
path.. A simple `ls` in the directory fails /mnt hangs without even running
umount. This is what I assume is the core of the nautilus symptom people are
ranting about. I think this is also why nfs drives can't umount when
disconnected. I don't know why umount has to ls the parent directory to umount
the location. I can understand it doing so, but I'd expect it the -f option to
just purge the kernel's knowledge of the mount point and move on with life.
That `umount -f` issues an readlink() in cwd, and that an ls with failed mount
hangs is what I assume is the problem here.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I am using ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy 386 version.
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.
