One day, I will love AeroFS. But that day is not yet today: AeroFS does not preserve file modification times across clients, which kills it for me.
On the bright side, I finally got around to setting up Unison + cron to keep files in sync between my MacBook Air and my MacBook Pro, and it's working quite well. I'd highly recommend it to anyone facing a similar challenge.
- gwillen 15y agoI used Unison + cron for years, but recently I had to replace a machine, and discovered to my horror that my synced directory has grown beyond the size that Unison is capable of doing an initial synchronization of, EVEN if I precopy all the data. So AeroFS looks like it might be a killer app for me.
- res0nat0r 15y agoIs there any way to speed Unison up on large datasets? It runs unusably slow even to scan changes of something like my mp3 directory.
- erikcw 15y agoI had read awhile back that Unison does not preserve HFS+'s extended attributes. Has that changed in a recent version?
- weihan 15y agoUpdate: AeroFS now preserves modification times across devices :)
