Description
In Windows Vista (and XP I think) there is a feature that allows you to "work offline" and keep a network folder synchronized with a cache on the computer.
If you create a share in Virtualbox for \netdisk\data --> data
If the \netdisk is connected you will see the following when you do a ls -la
root@sirius:/media/data# ls -la total 89029 drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 0 2008-09-20 15:24 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2008-09-20 15:11 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 0 2008-09-18 00:05 documents -rw-rw-rw- 1 johan johan 729288704 2008-09-03 09:11 intrepid-desktop-i386.iso drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 0 2008-08-14 23:14 .lpd drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 0 2008-09-06 15:07 multimedia drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 0 2008-08-17 01:28 .systemfile
However if you disconnect \netdisk the cache will be used, I my case only documents and multimedia is cached so you will ha this:
johan@sirius:/media/data$ ls -la ls: cannot access .lpd: Protocol error ls: cannot access .systemfile: Protocol error ls: cannot access intrepid-desktop-i386.iso: Protocol error total 1 drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 4096 2008-09-18 00:05 documents ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? intrepid-desktop-i386.iso ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .lpd drwxrwxrwx 1 johan johan 4096 2008-09-06 15:07 multimedia ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .systemfile
I guess the ???????? indicates that the folder is currently inaccessible. However the Protocol error's make Nautilus to not display any of the contents in the folder.
A nice feature would also be to display this status (inaccessible) in Nautilus.
I use Ubuntu 7.04
