I am having troubles with some network/FUSE/special filesystem, why?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|project_name| is doing nothing special in the filesystem, it only uses very
common and compatible operations (even the locking is just "mkdir").
So, if you are encountering issues like slowness, corruption or malfunction
when using a specific filesystem, please try if you can reproduce the issues
with a local (non-network) and proven filesystem (like ext4 on Linux).
If you can't reproduce the issue then, you maybe have found an issue within
the filesystem code you used (not with |project_name|). For this case, it is
recommended that you talk to the developers / support of the network fs and
maybe open an issue in their issue tracker. Do not file an issue in the
|project_name| issue tracker.
If you can reproduce the issue with the proven filesystem, please file an
issue in the |project_name| issue tracker about that.
