We have this problem with 1.4 and now when we try 2.0. Is there a real fix for this?

hi,

Could you try adding the <disableChangeNotification/> setting in your file-servers.xml or file-servers-custom.xml, in the section where the Alfresco share is defined :-

  <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystems">
    <filesystems>
      <filesystem name="Alfresco">
        <disableChangeNotification/>
        ..
      </filesystem>
    </filesystems>
  </config>

If thre is still a problem then I could with seeing some network packet traces of the problem.

Thanks

Gary

We have tried putting this in both file-servers.xml and file-servers-custom.xml. Neither made any difference. This idea was mentioned in the bug report http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1181?decorator=printable as the short term fix but <disableChangeNotification/> has never made any difference for us. Has it for anyone?
