Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings
configuration in my smb.conf
. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ¿
and ¡
), sometimes doesn’t recognizes filenames (don’t remember exactly which chars), etc.
I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don’t think Samba is what I’m looking for.
Sure. I have a little home server running Linux and 2 or 3 machines that access files shared by this server. I use Plasma on my desktop machines and I rely a lot on tags (just to clarify, Plasma uses xattrs - more specifically
user.xdg.tags
) to tag files. On the server I already have a couple of scripts that automatically insert some predefined tags on files.Thing is when I try to copy and/or move files between server and desktop, depending on the protocol I used to mount the shared, I loose this information.
People suggested rsync, and it would be an excellent option if what I wanted was to keep both sides synchronized or something like that. In fact what I need is just a solution that allow me to mount a server share content and allow me to transfer files from it preserving their extended attributes, preferentially using a file manager (I use basically Dolphin or ranger).
No need to keep then synced.
