External storage mounting stops ownCloud?

[msrex]

Verifying bug http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-1248 on 4.5.0 I tried to follow exactly his procedure. But after I created the local mount point (pointing to /tmp) the whole ownCloud instance stopped working. After I manually deleted the mount.php config file it started working again. Trying a second time made it stop again. The complete instance was stopped, the sync clients for a normal users as well as the web frontend and the mobile apps.

I have the same issue on a fresh 4.5.1a. Only difference: I was mounting dropbox as a user, not as admin for everyone.

Outcome: The user could not do anything from that on, not even log in. For the rest of the users oC worked correctly.

same problem here (oc v4.5.5).
Please take note: Passwords are stored unencrypted in mount.php!

I observed similar situation when mounting local directory with huge number of files. First time user (with access granted to this mount point) logs in, OC is indexing files into "oc_fscache" table of its database, on my "Atom N270" powered mini-server indexing 6000 files takes over 30 minutes blocking GUI completely, after that is works fine. First time that looked to me like broken installation, then I started digging into details and found that cache table grows up very slowly. What I am missing is any prompt of warning (or progress bar ideally) that mounting large set of files kneels down OC.
Try to mount empty directory (or any one with small number of files) and see if it works.

This problem will be solved in 5.0, file indexing is now done in the background
