Bug ID: 362288
Summary: Kate treats remote filesystems as locally mounted
Product: kate
Version: 3.13.2
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: adr.fant...@gmail.com
When a file in a local file system is modified, Kate creates backup files. This
is fine.
When this happens for a remote filesystem (e.g. sftp), it does not do so,
because it would hugely slow down the saving if the network is slow or if the
ping is bad.
However, for many applications, remote filesystems can be mounted locally (e.g.
with SSHFS, NFS or similar). Kate will NOT recognize this, and treat the files
as locally mounted. This sometimes causes endless, minutes long delays (not
even being able to move the cursor) even when just entering a single character
and is short makes Kate completely unusable.
This is not a rare occurrence, but an extremely annoying bug which means Kate
cannot be used in business environments with networked user data.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount a remote filesystem locally, usa a slow network
2. Edit a file with Kate
3. Experience the slowness
Actual Results:
Kate freezes while trying to write the backup file
Expected Results:
Kate should recognize, by looking at mount, fstab or mtab, that the current
filesystem is remote, and act accordingly
