Plasma & NFS

[Alexander Puchmayr]

Hi there!

My Linux box has its home directories on a local SSD, and occasionally I need 
to mount the home directories of other machines (server, laptop(s), etc). When 
I do this and forget to unmount them, plasma gets stuck and is no longer  
responsive. Kwin seems to work, but switching activities does not. The Sidebar 
also gets stuck, I cannot launch applications anymore. In other words: The 
desktop is almost frozen because it waits for a NFS share to response that is 
actually not needed at all for the desktop to work. 

Why is that behavior? I understand that a dolphin window may freeze if the 
directory it shows is no longer available, but why the whole desktop?

Is there anything I can do against this?

Thanks
