Second I already tried using KFileItem::isSlow method i.e KFileSystemType::fileSystemType and statvfs syscall in a previous attempt in this diff and it was not usable for this context : statvfs block the thread in case of a stale network mount until the network is back up (case of a nfs mounted when network is cut). Meaning it would freeze plasmashell when the case occurred, and shows that KFileItem::isSlow/KFileSystemType::fileSystemType cause freezes whenever they are used for a file on a network stale mount. This new method is actually implementing what I suggested in https://phabricator.kde.org/D19784#502503 REPOSITORY R119 Plasma Desktop REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D23198 To: meven, #plasma, dfaure Cc: davidedmundson, ngraham, broulik, plasma-devel, LeGast00n, The-Feren-OS-Dev, jraleigh, fbampaloukas, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart
