Unable to mount drive from bookmark
Last modified: 2015-12-11 21:44:22 UTC
I have set some of my HDD drives as bookmarks in Nautilus for easy access. This works great except for when i reboot. When i click my bookmark after a reboot i get a error pop-up, telling me it could not find the address. Then i have to go to 'other locations' and mount my drive from there instead of simply clicking on the bookmark as i could do in 3.16. Step to reproduce: Mount a external drive and set it as a bookmark. Un-mount the drive and click on the bookmark.
We are having problems to the omnipresent "reusing a file that was gone by its entirity except for some ref at some point". Here the problem is the bookmark holds a ref, then when unmounting the mount information of the child is not updated, since the one that changed is its parent (the server root). I tried different approachs here, but none of them fit how the current code of directory-async works... Probably the best we can do is invalidate all the infos of all the children when a directory gets unmounted. But even this solution looks costly.
