1825976 - Thunderbird locks up when local folder is inaccessible (through sshfs)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[serathosplays]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. set my Local Folders directory to a folder on another PC that was mounted by SSHFS
2. the SSHFS connection closed (due to some other connectivity issue independent of Thunderbird)

Actual results:

3. Thunderbird freezes
4. tried "Force Quit" in the GUI, "End Process" in the System Monitor, "kill <ID>" and "kill -9 <ID>", but thunderbird refused to close

Expected results:

That I am at least somehow able to kill the process and restart Thunderbird.

I found this info on askubuntu.com:

"There are situations where even kill -9 does not kill the process. For example when a process has the state D (uninterruptable sleep). A process comes into this state everytime it waits for I/O (normally not very long). So, if a process waits for I/O (on a defect harddisk for example) and it is not programmed [with a timeout], then you simply cannot kill the process."

109 is quite old. Are you sure you are using 109 beta?

109 is quite old. Are you sure you are using 109 beta?

Nope, but when looking under "Help" -> "more troubleshooting information" under "Version" there's 102.9.1, but I see now, that I may have gotten something mixed up, I was confused as the drop-down menu didn't contain that exactly (and apparently selected 109 instead of 102 by accident)

That's the Info on my Troubleshooting Information page:

Name Thunderbird
Version 102.9.0
Build ID 20230310165821
Distribution ID
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/102.9.0

You sure that it's 102? I assumed when 109 is an old Version, that it refers to the one under "User Agent"?

Does this also reproduce when using version 115 started in Help > Troubleshoot Mode?
If it does, and you have not already done so, please list complete steps to reproduce.
