Hey Guys,
first of all I'm sorry to bother you with another dotfiles Thread but i searched for half an hour and didn't find something fitting my problem. im running a OSX 10.10 Server in my company and use it for filesharing (via SMB with Open Directory). It's a MacMini and there are several (3) Drobos connected to it which store and backup our data.
When i set up the server everything was fine and fast. But the (finder browsing) perfomance is dropping and dropping. I found out that there must be a coherence with the dot files. We are using Mac client with the Server. I can run a Windows VM and mount the same networkdrives than everything is just fine.
I used dot_clean on some directorys (And didn't fully understand what it did) but after that the browsing speed really improved. So I decided to kick the dotfiles. What is the best practice to do this?
Should i run this on every client?
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
And than on my server run
sudo dot_clean -vsn /Volumes/*
&
find . -type f -name "._*" -exec rm "{}" \;
Is this a good idea? I'd like to know a way to disable the creation of dotfiles on the serverside and not to have to do it on every client.
thank you in advance
