The hanging problem has just been moved to later, and worse still, you can now experience data loss.
I did the following in Nautilus: 1. Unmount drive 2. Mount drive. 3. Open folder. (Folder appears quickly, no hanging.) 4. Move a file on the drive from folder A into a subfolder B of A. Nautilus hangs with the 'Moving file' window. The data loss occurs thus: I press 'cancel' in the 'Moving file' window while it is hanging, and when it stops, my file is in neither A nor B. It completely disappears. If I select 'Paste' at this point, it reappears in folder A. However, if you do other copy/cut operations in the meantime, the file is lost. -- nautilus hangs on accessing vfat drives - statfs() blocks for a long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
