Description Justus Ranvier 2010-02-27 19:29:33 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When I start a KDE session on a computer other than the NFS server it is unusably slow and continually thrashes the server hard drive. Trying to interact with KDE desktop widgets is virtually impossible due to 20-30 second latencies. Iotop confirms that kconf_update is generating the disk activity.

I tried leaving the session on overnight to see if kconf_update would ever finish but after 14 hours it was still going. Is this expected behavior or is there something that I can do to troubleshoot this?

At some point between when I submitted this bug and now /home on NFS started working for me again. Whether the change is due to the kernel, nfs-utils, or KDE I can not say.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
