May also apply to the "duplicity" package and is related to network "mount"s:
To reproduce:
* Set up a writeable SMB share: smb://1.2.3.4/backup
* Create a subdir: smb://1.2.3.4/backup/UbuntuBackup
* Using "deja-dup" -> "Storage location" set:
Storage location: Network Server
Network Location: smb://1.2.3.4/backup/UbuntuBackup
Folder: MyMachineBackup
* REBOOT THE MACHINE (or clear any cached mounts to "smb://1.2.3.4/backup")
* Select "deja-dup" -> "Overview" -> "Back Up Now..."
* Allow the backup to start, but not finish
* Go to Nautilus (file browser) -> "+ Other Locations"
- At the bottom set "Connect to server" to: smb://1.2.3.4/backup
Result:
* The parent SMB directory "smb://1.2.3.4/backup" is inaccessible because the "UbuntuBackup" subdir is currently mounted
* This causes a hanging problem if the "smb://1.2.3.4/backup" folder is bookmarked in nautilus
* Prevents all access to all parent folders of the backup folder
* Nautilus will hang, unable to mount the "backup" parent directory
* This problem is persistent throughout backup process and for a period of time afterwards until the mount to "UbuntuBackup" times out
* This is especially a problem when backing up remotely over a VPN which can take a long time
Possible solutions:
* Add a configuration option to deja-dup/duplicity to specify the "Share root" and mount that first before accessing the configured "Network Location"
* Have deja-dup or duplicity attempt to mount the parent directory/directories first by starting at the root of the SMB share and walking down the directory tree until a successful mount is made. In the above example, start by attempting to mount "smb://1.2.3.4/backup" first and then "smb://1.2.3.4/backup/UbuntuBackup" (in the case of deeper folder structures, try each one successively)
