Not that I want to discourage anyone building facilities into dt if they wish but if there is a system problem where the NAS drive is too slow and local SSD has to be used for speed I tend to think addressing it at the system level rather than within the dt application is best. Personally I store my o/s, the dt application code, home directory and dt database etc on SSD and use a NAS to hold just the images. This architecture works well - I can read and write raw images to the NAS at about 4 images per second even on my pretty humble system. If it was too slow handling the images themselves I think I would first get a better NAS and network link, and if that was still not fast enough I might front up the NAS with SSD using bcache or similar - that way I would get the SSD speed benefits on a NAS volume for all applications using it not just dt.

I've been using sync locally to speed up working for a long time. I guess it never actually did anything! It'd be great if this change made it into the master branch.
