Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have installed autofs, and have two shares exported on my server by
NFS. On the client machine, both shares mounted by autofs appear on the
desktop (this appears to be new in Hardy). The problem is that autofs
remounts the shares every five or ten minutes, which causes a very odd
sequence of events:
- autofs shares momentarily disappear from the desktop
- Both shares will open, each in a new file browser window.
- If the share is already open in a window, the error message 'Couldn't
display "/net/[server]/[share]" - The location is not a folder.' is also
displayed. I am assuming this is because the share was remounted while the file
browser was pointed at it.
These pop-ups accumulate, and if my machine is left unattended for a
long period, I will return to find dozens (sometimes hundreds) of open
file browsers - I generally need to restart gdm (using
crtl+alt+backspace) when this happens because the system has become
rather unstable.
I have attempted changing the "Removable Drives and Media" preferences
by deselecting "Browse removable media when inserted", but this does not
fix the problem.
