novell file system gvfs-backend

[eduardo romero]

Hello Adam

Maybe i can't express enough well, sorry me english

As you say in you web link, we use ncpfs-mount to mount a Novell Netware
file system into our linux desktop. We can access to this mounting point
without problems but...

if we make some performance testing (copying files) from network to local
we can check that Nautilus have a poor performance (3MB/s) versus a `cp`
command in a shell (6MB/s).

In our opinion this issue is due to lack of a gvfs-backend for this
specific NCP connection. Why we say that?? We can observe that OpenSUSE
distributions has an specific gvf-backed called nvvfs for NCP connections
and performance in Nautilus and `cp` comand is very similar (6MB/s)

Regards and thank you
