Probably a dumb question.. but when the network is down can the clients even ping the server?

We used WGM and have it set to not merge settings. We mostly sync just desktop and documents in the background and desktop, documents, and library on login/logout. There is also a bunch of rules to filter music and such.

We had a similar problem with tons of data, staff had moved their iTunes libraries to their desktop or documents. The multiple login rules don’t really make sense since the user is really only logged in to the server while syncing. It seems disk quotas should be able to work but the way its currently done is to set the quota on the share for the user not really the home directory. Our only solution was to come up with more extensive lists of exclusions from the sync.

Try changing com.apple.homeSync there are 2 variables, 1 for background sync and 1 for login/logout. loginConflictResolution does login/logout and periodicConflictResolution does the background. Both are integer values: 0=show conflict window, 1=local home wins, 2=network home wins. Be careful because they both can affect the first sync when the account is setup so the blank local home could overwrite the network home.

Are you still having problems? Is it just the iTunes library folder or are there mp3’s in to too?
