[Bug 1790112] [NEW] mount fails to act on changing directories

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a setup with two remote directories mounted as subfolders of my
home directory at boot. Works fine.

Once a network link goes down, however, even a terminal does not return
any command. e.g. opening a terminal ('Konsole'), and I do any command
(like 'ls'), this simply stucks forever. It has nothing to do with
Konsole, because the same behaviour applies for e.g. kdialog, so when I
want to save a file from the web-browser, Home is inaccessible (just
white space).

My best workaround is a reboot, because I can't issue a 'mount -a' due
to the lack of terminal responsiveness.

I think that's not really a bug, though a major hindrance.

I didn't give a package, because I don't know which that package should
be: mount works, kdialog and Konsole work. However,  a lost mount state
seems to connect all input and output to /dev/null.
