Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2006-11-10 10:27:17 EST
Connect to a remote Windows-dstore daemon.
It has a network drive "L:" mapped to "\\szg-rhfs\mober" which is a Samba share to my UNIX home directory.

In my home directory, I have several symbolic links pointing to NFS exports on remote machines. When one of these remote machines goes down, the Samba share becomes inaccessible from Windows (Windows Explorer runs into a very long timeout when trying to access the drive -- approx 1 minute -- but then becomes available again).

When I now try to expand drive L: through the windows-dstore connection, the Eclipse client becomes totally unavailable and won't wake up any more. Killing it (by close window) is the only thing I can do.

I'm setting severity NORMAL since this is very unlikely to happen, but it should be checked if something can be done to improve the situation.

I'm not going to invest into dstore since we are not using it. 
Assigning to future - if you want to work on it, I can help reproducing the issue.

What happens with local in this situation?
