Mint 19.3 XFCE file system becomes unuseable when internet connection is lost

[PeterJammo]

I use google-drive-ocamlfuse on a Mint 19.3 XFCE machine. On two occasions the internet has gone down and it appears that when this happens the file system is locked up trying to connect the gdrive. Thunar becomes unresponsive, it is not possible to save any data to a new location from libreoffice, PGAdmin4 remains functional until you try to save a backup to a new location and then locks up, and luckybackup (which is set to save to gdrive) will not open. Rebooting brings back a blank desktop and does not improve any of the above. As soon as the internet is back up, all functionality is restored.

I'm happy to try to reproduce the problem if anyone can advise in detail how to de-bug. If this is a known problem, and/or there is a way to kill 'fuse until the internet is back up I'd appreciate some help.

Thanks for this otherwise very useful software.

here is a way to kill 'fuse until the internet is back up I'd appreciate some help.

Sure, just run:

fusermount -u mountpoint

If that fails, kill the process with:

killall -9 google-drive-ocamlfuse

Thanks, That should help if the situation occurs again. Thanks again also for a most useful bit of software.
