Bug ID: 506241
Summary: Free Space Notifier causes Plasma session delay when
NFS mount is unavailable
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Startup process
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
Summary:
When an NFS share defined in fstab with nofail,x-systemd.automount is
unreachable (e.g. NAS is powered off), KDE Plasma session is delayed by ~60
seconds at login due to the Free Space Notifier background service. Disabling
the Free Space Notifier service (or commenting out the fstab entry and
reloading the daemon) will resolve the issue
Steps to reproduce:
1. Define an NFS mount in /etc/fstab:
my.nas.local:/NAS /srv/NAS nfs
defaults,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60s 0 0
2. Enable Free Space Notifier via System Settings > Background Services.
3. Reboot or re-login with the NAS powered off.
4. Observe:
- Login stalls at black screen with cursor for ~1 minute.
- Journal shows plasma-plasmashell.service timing out and restarting.
- System eventually recovers.
Workaround:
Disabling Free Space Notifier removes the delay.
Expected behavior:
Free Space Notifier should not delay session startup if a disk is unreachable
or unmounted.
