Thanks. Although not really a "solution", I'm thinking of copying the entire content of the share to my machine (disk space is cheap) and creating, saving, changing, deleting files on my local copy. I would then have a cron job to rsync to the share once an hour. So effectively, the share would actually be a backup and rather than actually working on the share. To be clear, the reason for the share is to allow family members to save on the network share which is regularly backed-up since I know my wife and kids never back-up their computers. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Claws Mail 3.17.5 - KDE Plasma 5.18.5 - Kubuntu 20.04 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
