to lessfs
Hi again!
I was just experimenting with Dropbox on a lessfs filesystem because I am actually using unison to sync between an ownCloud instance and Dropbox and wanted to avoid the duplicate storage.
Very strange experience: When setting up Dropbox on lessfs, the finished sync was not complete. In some directories, files were missing (that still show up on the web interface and Dropbox folders on other machines).
Plus, the Dropbox client places ".dropbox.attr" files in the directories. The ones I looked at just contained "{}". According to the net, those hidden files turned up before due to a bug but shouldn't be created anymore.
After I switched back to a location on an ext4 filesystem, Dropbox synced completely again and did not create those .dropbox.attr files anymore.
If anybody has an idea, I'd be glad to hear. As for the experiment with ownCloud, Dropbox and unison on lessfs, I gave up...
Regards,
Tilman
