[Bug 39958] Trying to access unmounted SMBFS share in Rhythmbox causes entire system crash

[Mark Reitblatt]

Public bug reported:

Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Critical
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I have an SMBFS share named "Share" in my fstab as follows:
//10.8.0.1/Share        /mnt/share      smbfs   rw,user,noauto,username=mark,uid=mark   0       0

When I try to access it in Rhythmbox through the "Add Folder" option, it
prompts me for the password to "Share" (while it is unmounted), and
immediately freezes my entire system. No capslock/numlock response or
anything. I have to hold the power button to restart. If I try to access
"Share" while it is mounted, everything works fine.

Note: I have enabled SUID root on smbmnt so that user mounts are
possible. Also, the Samba share is being mounted over an OpenVPN tunnel,
but I doubt that is relevant.

     Severity: Normal => Critical
