Bug Description

When unlocking A screen in gnome desktop in Ubuntu 22.04
if there are NFS mounted drives (using fstab) and bookmarks are added to those in Files, gnome does some kind of access to those folders before unlocking the screen
In specific case if the NFS server goes away when the GNOME screen is locked then it is impossible to unlock the screen, there is no timeout to that process as far as I could measure, in any case, the timeout did not occur in 10 hours' time.

even if NFS server comes back online that does not guarantee that the system would be able to unlock (as if the NFS mount goes stale in the meantime nothing helps later)

I think it would be ideal to remove the dependency of unlocking the screen on filesystem access

The NFS drives do not server any system components or users' home folders, they are for document sharing only
