Hey everybody,
We've been fighting with DS_Store files related problems on a mixed NAS / SAN environment for a while now. We found a way (tested) to disable creation of them on both SAN and NAS clients but still the files keep appearing to the shared storage. I finally figured out why.
You could imagine that running the following command on terminal would stop macs generating garbage:
> defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Well, this is the case when you CREATE files on the network share. But as soon as you copy an existing folder from your desktop, the DS_Store files appear to the network server.
Now, I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I can't think any reason why it should work like this.
Does anyone have any tips how to prevent this from happening for good?
Thanks in advance!
Andy
