Accessing files on Mounted server asking to reload after saving

hawkeye0203

I have edited my fstab to mount a server at startup so I can access it through my file structure.

I am however getting a funny event: After editing my web pages and saving, next time I focus the document, gEdit tells me "The file blah/blah/blah.html changed on disk. Do you want to reload the file?". But I know this isn't happening. I'm the only one working on them and it is instantaneous. I edit, I save, I get this message. It's really weird... Can anyone help me? Here is my fstab entry for the server:

//10.0.10.25/vulcan /media/Vulcan cifs auto,user,rw,noperm,user=username,password=password,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure your local system's time is not less than the file server's time. I think the problem is that gedit compares what the local system's time was when the file was saved to when the file was last modified according to the server's clock.

cdenley,

One question for you: Why would you suggest something so simple?
Here's the answer: Because you knew what the problem was and that I hadn't thought of that!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It worked!

Ok, so that didn't work as well as I thought it did. I am still getting popups, but now whne I try to save instead of after saving. Hmm...

Anyone have any other suggestions?
