Summary: open dialog very slow if using kernel automounter Product: Wine Version: 0.9 Platform: PC OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: prakashkc@gmx.de
I am using autofs (kernel automounter) to automatically mount and unmount my cds and network shares. I added such an automatically mounted dir to wine as a drive (/misc/cdrw_dvdrom). The problem now arises wehn I use an open dialog: It takes nearly 0.5 seconds for each directory (icon) to appear (files are not a problem). I found out, by inserting a cd the problem vanishes. So it seems wine constantly wants to access above automoubnted dir, which fails if no cd is in the drive. I think constanly trying to access the drive (even if I didn't want it) isn't what wine shoould do. If wine would try this only if I explicitly selected the cd-rom, then the problem reported wouldn't be there.
