I have exactly the same problem. When I plug in a vfat external usb HDD, Nautilus freezes during about 30 secondes before I can do something (except using other programs like firefox). The window of hdd content opens, but nothing appears and I have the "waiting cursor".
I've attached a backtrace file, but nothing happens, it's not a crash. I had to stop manually the gdb process (Ctrl+C) when "continuing". I don't do anything special to mount my drive, I just plug it in. It does that with both 2.6.22-9 and 2.6.22-10 kernels on 32 and 64 bits. If you need more informations... ** Attachment added: "gdb-nautilus.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9003785/gdb-nautilus.txt -- [gutsy] long delay in nautilus on first access to vfat drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
