> Bug description:
> Some updates on Feb. 10:
> 1. This happens with non-cli applications such as firefox, gedit, meld who have a nautilus like open/select file dialog. When you select file in such a dialog, the cpu consumption will be 100%
> 2. This happens with a NIS authenticated account. Local account doesn't observe this.
> 3. This happens when browsing home folder and other folders owned by this NIS account. If browsing other directories such as /etc or the root /, problem is not observed.

> 3) What you expected to happen
> Open any website which contains something to let you upload, such as composing an email. When you try to upload, Firefox will let you make selection.
>
> Or just select "File->Open File..." from Firefox main menu to see the file selection dialog comes up.
>
> I am expecting selecting a file will be quite smooth operation.
>
> 4) What happened instead
>
> It takes ~6s to get file list shown completely in "Open File" dialog. If you scroll, refresh will take another ~5s. CPU usage will be 100% .
>
> I can use shell to do ls in the directory that Firefox opens without any problem.
>
> Recently I moved my home from a NFS mount to a local mount.
> Previous:
> my home is /home1/foo while /home1 is a NFS mount
> Now,
> my home is still /home1/foo but it's copied from previous NFS mount. And the NFS mount is now mounted at /home2.

> Will this be the cause?
