[OS X] Local sync folder on smb/afp network drive

mk3d commented 8 years ago

Expected behaviour

On Mac OS, i mount a volume via smb or afp. With the owncloud client, i defined my local folder as /Volumes/my-shared-drive The volume is always mounted on the mac. But the ownCloud client don't discover the changes automatically.

Actual behaviour

ownCloud client don't discover the changes automatically if the defined local directory is stored on a shared drive. (smb/afp)

Steps to reproduce

Define the sync folder on a shared drive
Make change on the shared drive from another machine
the owncloud client don't see any changes.

But, if i just leave an opened Finder window with the content of the local folder, it's ok.

Server configuration

Operating system: Centos7

Web server: Apache

Database: MySQL

PHP version: 5.4

ownCloud version: 9

Storage backend:

Client configuration

Client version: Mac OS Operating system: X 10.11.3

It seems to work on Windows 7/10 with a shared drive mounted from Netapp. As soon as the ownCloud Client is fired up, the drive is available and watched. It will only go offline if OC-C is terminated (pausing it does not matter: the share wont go offline!). Since MacOS is BSD based I tried to mount the smb share on FreeBSD using smb+autofs. Same behaviour as with Windows: drive is watched as long as OC-C is running. Autofs will only unmount the share if OC-C is not running. As soon as the mount is accessed again it is mounted and watched by OC-C. Maybe it is a feature already build in smb and only an option to set/unset?
