In general, I really don't like the direction that bug is going. By that I mean, it gives me the impression that there's a ton of OS-specific code within the daemon, and the solution for them may be to add *another* layer of abstraction (by detecting the specific filesystem used on a share, and using different code per filesystem). I think this is bad. Julian, has there been any progress to resolve this outside of what's shown in the bug?
