[QGIS-Developer] Network issues

[Patrick Dunford]

Good day all

I share my projects over a local network to multiple computers and 
virtual machines in my working space for using and testing Qgis. Lately 
I have had quite a few errors over SMB shares using the Samba file 
server and clients.

The error messages vary. I forgot what the messages were for shapefiles, 
for geopackage the messages are a bit obscure but it essentially fails 
to commit changes and then undoes all the changes in that layer back to 
where it was before you put it into edit mode. Project files save so it 
doesn't seem likely to be a permissions issue. These issues seem to be 
intermittent rather than being present all of the time.

I am seeing Samba issues with some other stuff so I am starting to think 
Samba has some problems in current releases.

Currently I am testing with NFS to see if it is more reliable, so far it 
looks good.
