Is this reported to kde in their bug tracker?

Isn’t the issue that the smb mount seems alive until a timeout happens?

I've had an issue Linux-wide (not Dolphin-specific) that network namespace-specific smb mounts hang when accessed from processes not in the "correct" network namespace. Makes sense; not sure if the kernel could detect that an smb mount is using something netns-specific to fail faster with a more useful error message or not.

Not reported anywhere else because it's been easy to avoid the problem (not using graphical file browsers that can see the mount point but go berserk when they can't gather information about it).
