Description Alexander Skwar 2006-08-05 17:41:22 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
I've got a Linkstation 2 MIPS NAS system where I installed the nfs-kernel-server from Debian on. When I use Nautilus to browse a folder containing images and enable that previews should be generated, I'm getting A LOT of messages like this on my client:

Aug  5 19:11:38 knospe kernel: [17183296.172000] nfs: server hd not responding, timed out

"knospe" is the name of my client; "hd" is the name of the NFS server.

When I use tar on the shell, I can read as much as I want.

I'm using

nautilus                               2.14.3-0ubuntu1

on Ubuntu Dapper.

I also reported this issue to Ubuntu on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/55332
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2006-08-08 21:07:17 UTC
I do not see how nautilus can be responsible for kernel log messages.
rather looks like some nfs problem to me that is being triggered by gnome-vfs

does tis oonly happen when preview is enabled?
Comment 3 Alexander Skwar 2006-08-08 21:34:13 UTC
Uhm, no, nautilus is not *directly* responsible for kernel log messages. That's of course correct ;)

BUT: When I enable preview and open a NFS folder with images, the "NFS client" crashs and *this* causes the kernel log messages. But it ONLY crashs, when I use Nautilus to browse a folder with images. When I create a tar of everything, NFS access works just fine. Because of that, I don't think that the NFS client is broken or that the NFS server is broken.

You might be right, that the real culprit is some library like gnome-vfs - this, I, as a user, don't know and, pardon me, don't care about. ;)

I only get those NFS problems, when I enable preview. When preview is disabled (or set to "local only"), I can browse image folders all day long.
Comment 4 Christian Kirbach 2006-08-08 22:27:31 UTC
ok if the preview is causing this then some preview component must be the culprit.
Comment 5 Vish 2010-07-04 20:10:07 UTC
Do you still have this problem with an up to date version of nautilus?
Comment 6 André Klapper 2011-08-10 11:50:03 UTC
Is this still an issue in a recent Nautilus version, such as 2.32 or 3.0, or can this be closed as OBSOLETE nowadays?
Comment 7 Alexander Skwar 2011-08-10 12:04:30 UTC
Can't reproduce it anymore, because my setup has totally changed - for instance, I no longer have or use this Linkstation NFS server.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2011-08-10 12:10:15 UTC
Thanks for the quick answer. Was asking because gnome-vfs was replaced by gio/gvfs around 2.24 and stuff was completely rewritten.
I'm closing this as OBSOLETE as it probably/hopefully doesn't happen anymore with a completely new backend codebase.
