  • Sure. I have a little home server running Linux and 2 or 3 machines that access files shared by this server. I use Plasma on my desktop machines and I rely a lot on tags (just to clarify, Plasma uses xattrs - more specifically user.xdg.tags) to tag files. On the server I already have a couple of scripts that automatically insert some predefined tags on files.

    Thing is when I try to copy and/or move files between server and desktop, depending on the protocol I used to mount the shared, I loose this information.

    People suggested rsync, and it would be an excellent option if what I wanted was to keep both sides synchronized or something like that. In fact what I need is just a solution that allow me to mount a server share content and allow me to transfer files from it preserving their extended attributes, preferentially using a file manager (I use basically Dolphin or ranger).

    No need to keep then synced.


  • Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings configuration in my smb.conf. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ¿ and ¡ ), sometimes doesn’t recognizes filenames (don’t remember exactly which chars), etc.

    I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don’t think Samba is what I’m looking for.









  • I believe I may have some issue with this phone… As I commented on another thread, it’s been taking a long time to start every time I reboot it or turn it off and on. The animations when I switch apps also have been pretty slow (just to you have in mind, when I unlock it that 3 navigation buttoms in the bottom takes between 1 to 2 secs just to show up. And that same sluggish feeling when doing other tasks also. I’ve tried to swipe the cache partition a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t seem to work. The interesting part is that it wasn’t that slow. As for the battery, yes, it wasn’t unrestricted but I configured it that way as suggested by another user here.

    I thought about doing a factory reset, but I have a couple of apps (banks, etc) that prevent me doing that…

    Anyway, I’ve noticed that it isn’t a Boost related issue and I don’t want to bother you guys any further with possible Android issues in a no related community.

    I do appreciate everyone’s help.













  • Kodi / LibreELEC has add-ons available to most of the most popular streaming services. The trouble is that it hasn’t the necessary licenses for playing content in the best resolutions (the same goes with most browsers). I myself have a Homatics R 4k Plus (which is a licensed box) and installed CoreELEC. When using Android I can stream my content in the highest resolutions (Star Plus, HBO Max and Disney Plus) but when using CoreELEC I can’t.
