I forgot to say that this is on openSUSE 42.3 On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 11:47 AM Roger Oberholtzer <roger.oberholtzer@gmail.com> wrote:

We are mounting some remote Windows 10 shares in a user's $HOME directory, using the automount capabilities in /etc/fstab. For example:

//ladybug/LADYD /home/rst/LADYBUG/D cifs soft,credentials=/etc/cifs.creds.rst63,sec=ntlm,vers=3.02,rw,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60,nofail,_netdev,uid=rst 0 0

This is working fine.

In these systems, the Windows computers are shut down via an rdesktop connection. This is also working fine.

The problem is that when the Windows computers are shut down, the KDE desktop freezes for a minute or so. The mouse moves. But nothing else is possible.

Our theory is that when the Windows computers shut down, the shares are no longer available. It takes a while for the Linux system to realize that this has happened. And KDE is checking these directories because they are in $HOME. And while it is doing this, all other KDE activity ceases.

I don't think it is a SAMBA issue. More a general remote file system issue and KDE.

Anyone recognize this behavior?
