[Bug 219929] New: kde menu -> system seems to stat mount points
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219929 Summary: kde menu -> system seems to stat mount points Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: kde-maintainers@suse.de selecting 'System' from the KDE menu seems to trigger a stat on all mount points. It did have for a few seconds until it displayed the actual contents of the 'System' submenu. Now imagine if any of the mount points were a hanging NFS mount point... Luckily there was only a scsi drive in stand by mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
