When I do a "ls -a /home/jan" as a user the console hangs. As a root it works, but I get this error on top: "ls: cannot access /home/jan/.gvfs: Permission denied"
"ls -ls /home/jan" as root gets the whole directory listing, which includes this entry:
"? d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs"
"rm -rf" won't remove it, I get "Permission denied" as a root!
Opening Dolphin results in it hanging also, as it tries to list the home directory.
What now?
/Jan K. Jan,
Here is a repost from the other thread:
Looks like /home isn't mounted anymore or the drive with /home on it died. Do a mount to check. I only see ? d????????? stuff when a mounted drive is unavailable and the system thinks it is still mounted. You can try and umount the /home partition and then your permission should go back to normal, then figure out why the mount died.
I uninstalled VMware Workstation and rebooted. Here's my /var/log/boot.msg: http://pastebin.com/d7bde3ba It seems to hang at the "Starting NFS client services: sm-notify idmapd" line. <snip> ------------------------------------------- mount -a -F mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. can't lock lock file /etc/mtab~: timed out can't lock lock file /etc/mtab~: timed out ------------------------------------------- Then it hangs.
Listing the NFS shares works fine after that though. Seems like there's something wrong with the nfs client service too.
Tired of this now... :-(
I feel your pain. The mtab lock problem looks promising. I don't use NFS, so I can't just spit out and answer, but it looks like it is trying to mount something it can't and that is causing a bloody mess. I experience "the exact-same list/hang" symptoms when I have a mounted smb share that goes away while it is mounted (like when I have a share mapped to one of the kids computers and they reboot to get into windows). Trying to get a directory listing in either konsole or konqueror causes a hang for the timeout period (120 secs I think) then the listing completes. If you are trying to mount an NFS share that isn't there or is having problems, that could explain the symptoms, but somebody else smarter than I am will have to give nfs specific help. -- David C.
