[Bug 871385] [NEW] "Timeout while waiting for mount to appear" when mounting NFS

 

Public bug reported:

I've got a couple NFS mounts in my /etc/fstab, set up to be user-
mountable.  These mounts show up as network mountpoints in Nautilus's
computer:// location, which I can click on to mount.  When I do click on
them, nautilus successfully mounts the mountpoint -- it appears as a new
harddisk in the same computer:// view (right next to the original icon I
clicked).  However, Nautilus then doesn't switch my view to that
location, and after a few seconds pops up a message, "Unable to mount
location: Timeout waiting for mount to appear".

After all this, I can manually click on the newly created icon and
browse the drive.

Further, double-clicking on the original icon while the mount is already
there causes nautilus to pop up a message, "mount.nfs: <location> is
busy or already mounted".  What I expect to happen is that this takes me
to the view of the root of the mount.

Optimally, there shouldn't be two icons either.
