Description Erik Boritsch 2009-02-20 06:01:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

While trying to browse nfs share with dolphin I have discovered that on some folders (with many files within) like e.g. my ~/ or /usr/portage/distfiles/, neither dolphin nor konqueror display folder contents and the kio_nfs process is consuming all available memory till the system is not usable anymore. I can see no special files in ~/, there are 40 folders and 84 files there. It seems that the number of files matters in this issue, I could never open my distfiles folder through nfs:// (about a thousand files there).
This behavior is always reproducible for me.
The shares are listed in /etc/exports as e.g. 
home/ *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash,sync)

Forgot to mention that I have net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.3. NFS works fine through terminal or when mounted, the issue is only kio_nfs-related.
