Much of the time this works, but if the share hangs for some reason, emacs also stops responding, waiting for the share to come back. I currently solve this by unmounting/remounting the filesystem, but its all very inconvenient. It would be neat if a directory hierarchy could be marked "unstable" and using copying instead of direct writes, much as Tramp works. I guess this would ideally be handled at the os level, but I have twiddled mount paramters back and forth to no avail. Any hints are apreciated. -- Joakim Verona www.verona.se
