  • 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.


  • 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.












  • I believe I may have some issue with this phone… As I commented on another thread, it’s been taking a long time to start every time I reboot it or turn it off and on. The animations when I switch apps also have been pretty slow (just to you have in mind, when I unlock it that 3 navigation buttoms in the bottom takes between 1 to 2 secs just to show up. And that same sluggish feeling when doing other tasks also. I’ve tried to swipe the cache partition a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t seem to work. The interesting part is that it wasn’t that slow. As for the battery, yes, it wasn’t unrestricted but I configured it that way as suggested by another user here.

    I thought about doing a factory reset, but I have a couple of apps (banks, etc) that prevent me doing that…

    Anyway, I’ve noticed that it isn’t a Boost related issue and I don’t want to bother you guys any further with possible Android issues in a no related community.

    I do appreciate everyone’s help.
