Hello, is this still a problem with KDE-3.x? I don't use clearcase, so I don't know how to check this myself. What does clearcase do that could possibly lead to trouble with df ?? Does it mount partitions (or pseudo-partitions like /proc) ? Has this been reported to the clearcase people? To answer your question, the file dialog (well the "file protocol implementation", kio_file, more precisely) is basically using the usual system calls to list the contents of a directory - much like "ls" would do. However it might also check whether the dir is really local or NFS-mounted, using something like df (not df itself, but the same system calls), so if df hangs, this could explain why the KDE application hangs too... Subject: Re: file protocol died unexpectedly, rational clearcase Hi, Actually, it is a problem still. However, it is an issue with the way that Rational clearcase does it's filesystem mapping. It's really obnoxious, and I have reported the bug to them. However, nothing has been done about it yet.. joe David Faure wrote: >------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- >You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. > >http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39899 > > > > >------- Additional Comments From faure@kde.org 2003-03-28 15:00 ------- >Hello, > >is this still a problem with KDE-3.x? >I don't use clearcase, so I don't know how to check this myself. >What does clearcase do that could possibly lead to trouble with df ?? >Does it mount partitions (or pseudo-partitions like /proc) ? >Has this been reported to the clearcase people? > >To answer your question, the file dialog (well the "file protocol implementation", kio_file, >more precisely) is basically using the usual system calls to list the contents of a >directory - much like "ls" would do.

I'm afraid it's no KDE bug then.
