Comment 13 for bug 159031

I'm usually connected to one of my web servers via sshfs+fuse and I've been having this exact issue with Nautilus ever since I started using Ubuntu. Then 6.06, now 10.04.

My internet provider in their infinite wisdom insists on disconnecting their customers once every 24 hours. Of course the router is set to reconnect immediately, but at that point Nautilus has already gone kaputt.

After half an hour or so, it starts responding again and I can reconnect to the server drive (only Nautilus freezes, not the whole machine, which means I usually can continue working locally). Sometimes I'm not so patient and simply reboot.

Exact error description has already been given by wolfie2x, Robert and smlefo. And I echo Robert's sentiments regarding severity, I'd consider this to be a critical bug as well, as it seems it's not limited to sshfs but also to samba and possibly others.
