What a strange response. How can this NOT be a bug. Writer crashes, that is a bug.
Even though the cause is at the system level, writer should wait for the mount to finish before opening the file. But it should never crash just be cause a file can't be accessed. And who would want to use automount? Ferry Mas schreef op di 11-09-2012 om 18:58 [-0400]: > This is a delay in ubuntu mounting the filesystem.
