Comment 26 for bug 159031

I also consider this bug as really severe.

A sshfs mount in my home broke because I lacked internet connection for some minutes. Now:

- Open a terminal. ls. Terminal freezes.
- Open a terminal. cd [TAB]. Terminal freezes.
- Open ~ in Nautilus. Window appears contentless, then freezes.
- Right click -> Unmount on the sshfs mount icon on the Desktop background. Desktop background freezes.

This bug is open for almost three years.

Does anyone have an idea what to do about this?
Can this issue be addressed in sshfs or do shells, Nautilus and so on have to handle such problems?
What do these programs do if other non-sshfs shares hang?
