Description peter.comish 2016-10-29 08:45:44 UTC
Description:
As per description, if the text document which has been opened from NAS is saved whilst the NAS is not in hibernation mode, then all goes well.  If a file is saved to a sleeping / hibernating NAS (i.e. user uses CTRL+S when NAS is hibernating) then Writer hangs until the NAS wakes and accepts the saved file.  Windows labels the window in which Writer is running as Not Responding and occasionally gives the option of closing the program (writer).  I am experiencing this with a 50 plus page document - I do not know if this would be replicated with a smaller file.  All returns to normal once the NAS has woken, and presumably, the file has been saved.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Load a text file from remote storage which is set to power down after 10 minutes.
2.  Wait 11 minutes
3.  Press CTRL + S to save the file to NAS

Actual Results:  
Writer window greyed out by windows and title bar labeled as '- Not Responding'

Expected Results:
Should display a dialogue box or similar as a front end to code waiting for save location availability, should not appear that Writer has crashed to windows.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes

So is it only with Network Attached Storage, or any USB-harddrive that can go to sleep?

Or with *any* kind of storage that is "slow", even if not sleeping at all? Like saving to a SMB or other networked file server over some slow link. Surely we have no special-casing in the code for a "NAS"?

Indeed, there are already several reports about crashing/hanging/freezing when network storage is slow, or dies :

Hi Timur,

Does not appear to be the same issue as the other issues listed appear to be incessant network storage access on Macs, or complete system lock-out on Linux.

This is a windows based issue, that although accessing a file across the network, is not an issue at all unless saving the file, and does not permanently lock out the machine.

What do you mean by add to see also please???

Peter, unfortunately nothing has happened with this bug report for more than one and a half year. So I'd like to ask, if it is still valid.

Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
