Comment 21 for bug 306673

This is still a problem with Nautilus 2.16.2-7 on CentOS 5.5 x86_64.
This is a major problem that is putting off customers.

I have reproduced the problem by logging in and opening a number of folders using Nautilus under /opt/user-data.
After 5 minutes, all Nautilus folder windows that are under /opt/user-data will close.

I have worked around the problem by changing the autofs unmount timeout to 2 days (from 5 minutes) by editing the TIMEOUT variable in "/etc/sysconfig/autofs".

Detailed configuration information:

$ rpm -qa | egrep autofs\|kernel\|nautilus | sort
