Thunar is freezing when i delete a file after connecting to network

Hi,

i have problems with thunar freezing since years. One of the moments this appears is when i visit the mounted network drive, do something, go back to home or an other locale drive, shut down the network drive and delete a file on a locale drive. The file is deleted when i check this with nemo or terminal but thunar doesn't react. Even kill thunar and the daemon doesn't work. When thunar is working after a while it's very slow. Only a reboot is helping.

I use autofs to mount network device. This is the line in /etc/auto.raspberry

raspi-usb   -fstype=cifs,uid=1000,username=pi,password=secret        ://192.168.10.23/usb

I have the same problem when i mount network devices with systemd. I found this error in journalctl:

Dez 30 16:04:46 desktop gvfsd[2800]: Error calling org.gtk.vfs.MonitorClient.Changed(): Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Dez 30 16:04:46 desktop gvfsd[2800]: Error calling org.gtk.vfs.MonitorClient.Changed(): Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
Dez 30 16:04:46 desktop gvfsd[2800]: Error calling org.gtk.vfs.MonitorClient.Changed(): Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

Is this a known problem? or is there a problem with the way i mount the network device?

Re: Thunar is freezing when i delete a file after connecting to network

I've never used or looked into autofs so this is just a guess. You show the file system as cifs, when I look in the man page I see this:

type
                     This is the mount filesystem type.  It can have a
                     value of auto, link, linkx, host, lofs, ext2-4, xfs,
                     nfs, nfsl or cdfs.  Other types that are not yet
                     implemented or are not available in autofs are nfsx,
                     lustre, jfs, program, cachefs and direct.

I don't see cifs listed. Like I said, a guess.

I found this: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentatio … nfs-autofs

It can be used to mount other file systems including AFS, SMBFS, CIFS, and local file systems.

It would be instructive if you included the whole paragraph for clarity.

The automount utility can mount and unmount NFS file systems automatically (on-demand mounting), therefore saving system resources. It can be used to mount other file systems including AFS, SMBFS, CIFS, and local file systems.
