can mount any block thing to. one furinstance is an /sshnet directory,
inside of which is a few nore directories that I mount the rest of my
cnc and 3d printers to using sshfs, so they are a direct link to the
/home/me directories of every machine on the premises. I have a script
in my private bin directory that mounts them all. I get tired of
repeating my user pw while the script is running, but it just works.
When I save a file, I use bash-completion to help write directory
names etc, but I know where I'm going, so to speak. But I have this
idea at the back of my mind that when a GUI dialog box opens up for
you to save a file, it has an extensive look around the filesystem.
Direct links (symlinks, I assume) to networked machines is a great
way of slowing this process down, and any unresolvable names will
make things far worse. Is this a possible cause for your problem?
