Hi Gian I do this all the time but I found that using the Ubuntu file manager for automounting remote server files was a complete exercise in frustration and its habit of sometimes being there and sometimes not there confused the hell out of darktable. The easy way back to sanity is probably to do something like NFS export the file system from your server and then permanently mount it up via fstab on your second desktop,
You mention slow but I find performance to be good working with remote image files, in fact I have no local images at all and their primary location is on the server/SAN disk. Having a gigabit network link does help. Rgds, Rob -----Original Message----- From: GianLuca Sarto [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 15 December 2014 08:52 To: [email protected] Subject: [Darktable-users] remote storage hello All, my local Darktable files (images and xmp) are backed up to a file server, using rsync, from Ubuntu desktop to Ubuntu server. Now, I would like to access the server files from another Ubuntu desktop, but the connection with the Files manager (Connect to Server), while it works, it looks very slow. Is there a better way to do it? Also, it looks that it's wiping my sidecar files, all have today's date. Not a big problem, because I can replace them again from the first ws, but I am wondering how you set to keep the xmp if found, if it is ever possible. ciao, -Gian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
