On my desktop Ubuntu 15.10 (A) I have mounted some folders on another Ubuntu box (B) on my LAN.
I used this guide:
From time to time I turn off the Ubuntu B machine and as a result I obviously cannot see these folders on my desktop machine A.
The problem is that Nautilus and my terminal becomes extremely slow when listing content in my user directory (~) since each time it tries to scan for these network directories.
Is there anyway to remove this hanging effect and make Ubuntu handle more gracefully when mounted network folders appear/disappear?
Below my /etc/fstab file:
//living-room.local/living-room /home/user/living-room-share cifs uid=user,credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
