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

 

A friend of mine has the same error, while he is using xubuntu and
mounts via gigolo. He also has the problem in Thunar and running Ubuntu
Unity before he upgraded. So I believe the problem is in nfs-common and
not specifically in nautilus.

Just for the record, his /etc/fstab line are:
192.168.0.102:/share/MD0_DATA/Public /home/toon/public nfs noauto,user,proto=tcp 0 0

Title:
  "Timeout while waiting for mount to appear" when mounting NFS

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
