Hello,
I have been running into something on F-12 that is really annoying and was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. When I use kmail and want to attach a file that is not in my Documents folder and go up one level to my homedir, it hangs. I can't do anything with kmail except kill the email I was composing.
Digging into this further, if you run lsof, it hangs when it gets to ~/.gvfs:
alarm(15) = 0 write(5, "\240(A\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 write(5, "\23\0\0\0", 4) = 4 write(5, "/home/sgrubb/.gvfs\0", 19) = 19 write(5, "\0\20\0\0", 4) = 4 read(6, 0x7fff9cc98428, 4) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) --- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) --- alarm(0) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {SIG_DFL, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, {0x412140, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, 8) = 0 close(5) = 0 close(6) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {0x412140, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, {SIG_DFL, [ALRM], SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x7ff0359ac740}, 8) = 0 alarm(5) = 0 wait4(-1,
And also find ~ -name anything also hangs:
open("..", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW) = 5 fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 fchdir(5) = 0 close(5) = 0 newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, ".gvfs",
Is this a defective file system or are a whole bunch of apps needing to be fixed? Also, do other people notice the same thing?

Probably. This really ought to be fixed. If you are in bash and type "file .gv" and then hit tab, your shell is hung. Running "ls -a ~" also hangs. Basically any app that stats files in your home dir will hang. Shouldn't a bug this bad have prevented F-12 from being released? This should have been a blocker. When I use firefox to attempt to add an attachment to bugzilla and have to go into my homedir, firefox hangs.

I don't believe it was ever escalated as a blocker. I probably didn't consider promoting it as one at the time as FUSE isn't used for any normal native Linux mount. Probably the most common use of FUSE is for mounting NTFS partitions via ntfs-3g, but I'm not sure that's vital / common enough to block a release.

The problem is that gvfs also uses FUSE (AIUI, it can work without, but FUSE mounting for the benefit of non-gvfs-enabled apps is enabled by default).

Ah. I never caught that. With that wrinkle it probably would've deserved blocker status...

It is possible to disable FUSE mounting in gvfs, see: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2009-August/084569.html
