Hi Roger,

I have a strange thing in KDE with CIFS as a client. If a share is not unmounted, but the server shuts down, large parts of KDE hang for a long time (e.g., the status bar at the bottom). I think it is trying to monitor the directories that are mounted. And when the server goes away, the monitoring hangs. Could your KDE issues be because the NFS server is not reachable? Or at least access to the share hangs, causing parts of KDE to hang as well? If is hanging because of an error on the server or client is a different matter. But it could explain the KDE part of your problem.
You can expect, I checked a lot (about 100h poor working time). Yes in the past, the server was also an issue, but this was fixed since about 2 month. Afterwords it works mainly, but still some crazy issues. But since about update to 5.1 on Server and Clients either the booting hangs on a crashed "akonadictl" or they boots slowly. Since the last update the duration was dramatically increased (since update to new KDE/Plasma 5.16?!) like described below. For me it looks like an issue from update of some configs. Especially akonadi have issues since about 5 Years, to migrate my 20 years old kmail folders.
To evaluate, the server issue, I started the user on the server, but the issue seams to be similar.
We also have the KDE issue on boot. Our CIFS shares are mounted via autofs as defined in /etc/fstab. For example: noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60,nofail,_netdev The interesting thing is that the mounts never go away when not used. I think this is because KDE is checking them. Even when they are not the current directory in any KDE component (that we can locate). When you log in again, KDE remembers the previous directory layout and tries to access the directories. This will hang until the server boots, or some KDE timeout is reached (we think). All of which makes the autofs a bit useless. Ok, the system does not hang waiting. But since KDE does, the system could just as well hang anyway... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
