Package: kontact Version: 4:22.12.3-1 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Maintainer, Kontact email composition window "Attach file" should not try to mount filesystems that aren't already mounted and the user does not explicitly try to enter. Reproduce: 1. Set up an automounted filesystem, e.g. at /mnt/foobar 2. Mount it 3. Add /mnt/foobar to the sidebar either in Places, Recent Locations, or Remote, do not enter the directory (or come out of it after so it's not the last one you were in while the dialog is open) 4. Close the compose window 5. Umount /mnt/foobar 6. Compose another email and attach a file: /mnt/foobar gets mounted. I appreciate this is an attempt to be helpful, gathering information about known mountpoints, but the nature of autofs mountpoints is that they are not guaranteed to be always available to be mounted so causing an attempt to mount them without user explicitly asking for it is not good. This is especially bad when the mountpoint is an NFS mount: kontact will hang until autofs succeeds in mounting it. If the NFS server is never coming back, data loss follows as kontact will never recover from an uninterruptible system call. This is also highly annoying even when the server is available but /mnt/foobar is not yet mounted: opening the file selection dialog takes as long as it takes for the mount to finish, which is long enough to be annoying. Kontact needs to be selective in its helpfulness: avoid causing autofs mounts to be triggered if they are not yet mounted unless explicitly requested by the user.
