Two more mysteries. | | Well, k3b includes quite a complex filesystem browser, which does much | more than just displaying your home directory. If mounted fs are | inaccessible, that can cause problems then. I was just burning from a .iso so it didn't need to browse. What hung was lsof. I'm guessing that it was just trying to see if any other process was using the burner. Furthermore, I'm guessing that lsof was trying to see if the device was mounted and was thus sniffing around all the mounts. The real mystery is why NFS is causing these hangs. I admit that the server was rebooted while the client still had the mount (a day before). But NFS should handle that gracefully.
