Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Not sure if it's a Nautilus or a sshfs bug, I'll report it as both.
I'm using up-to-date Feisty on two laptops connected to the same LAN,
through a WiFi router (one is on Ethernet, the other on WiFi). I'm using
fuse & sshfs to mount the fs of one computer on the other. This is
because the fixed computer has a big drive, and the WiFi one is more
comfortable as a desktop.
Until recently I only had mounted a part of the "remote" file system,
i.e. the big drive where most files are. This worked without a hitch.
Today I tried mounting the entire root file system, so that I can access
the remote home directory too. This sort of works, but when I open the
remote root directory in Nautilus, the root icons are displayed, but
after a while Nautilus freezes. (This includes all windows and the
desktop.) I tried running it from the console, but it doesn't show
anything when it freezes.
If I force-close the window, Nautilus restarts normally, and it works
until I try to view the remote root directory again. This never happened
before with the files-only directory mounted. I suspect something funny
happens when it's trying to look inside the /proc or /dev directory, but
I can't really tell for sure. I can't find anything relevant in the
logs. Any ideas?
