I'd > recommend focusing on simply avoiding that situation. It is different to mounted disk - if it happens, you have HW issue, not happening that often and it requires an action. But it's usually pretty reliable physical connection. With NFS share (if it is not share you have your home on) over network, that can have stability issues, it's different thing. This happens to me when I mount internal network NFS share, disconnect for a meeting to the external network. Something you can avoid but it's pretty easy to forget you have to properly unmount NFS share. And the only way is to restart whole session :( R. > -- rex > > _______________________________________________ > kde mailing list > kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde > New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org -- -- Jaroslav Řezník <jreznik@xxxxxxxxxx> Engineering Program Manager Office: +420 532 294 645 Mobile: +420 602 797 774 PIN: REZZABBM Red Hat, Inc. http://www.redhat.com/ _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
