The hanging problem has just been moved to later, and worse still, you can now experience data loss.

I did the following in Nautilus:

1. Unmount drive
2. Mount drive.
3. Open folder. (Folder appears quickly, no hanging.)
4. Move a file on the drive from folder A into a subfolder B of A. Nautilus hangs with the 'Moving file' window.

The data loss occurs thus: I press 'cancel' in the 'Moving file' window while it is hanging, and when it stops, my file is in neither A nor B. It completely disappears. If I select 'Paste' at this point, it reappears in folder A. However, if you do other copy/cut operations in the meantime, the file is lost.
