Taskbar of kde in os 11.2 freeze with mounted nfs fs

[tkmbe]

Hello

Taskbar and desktop freezes if you have nfs mounted filesystems and nfs server is not responding in opensuse 11.2 (kde4)
When server comes back it works again.
I have removed all applets because I tought Updater Applet (/usr/bin/kupdateapplet) could be the problem removed system panel etc. but it's the same.
After about 20s-30s after server has gone taskbar and desktop is not anymore responding to events...

nfs mount options:
noauto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

BTW: With df is the same is hanging if entering in nfs mount.
So it seems that something in the taskbar will iterate over nfs mount points ...

Where should I report this bug?

And last but not least how can I identify the kde minor version which is installed?

Greetings

Hi tkmbe,

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue. Didn't realize what was causing it until I read your post and yes indeed that is what's happening. nfs server stops (wife shuts down her laptop) and my taskbar stop functioning. Solution???

Thanks,
James

No have not found a solution but it's not releated only to the nfs service.
The taskbar freeze with other issues to.
It seems a "thread" problem of taskbar or qt or what ever so it's realy not an mount point problem...

I ran into this today. Intermitant freezes in taskbar, and dolphin randomly hanging.

The solution turned out to be changing from nfs3 to nfs4 and all the hanging/freezing went away.

Also take care to leave nfs mount options to "defaults", unless you're sure about what you're doing.
