Title:
  mount fails to act on changing directories

Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
