Blue Harvest 5 5 5 – Disable Ds_store Creation And More Abundantly
The setting in.osx to disable.DSStore file creation on network drives doesn't work correctly. The line reads: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true Unfortunately, as per the Apple knowledge base.
| Click here to return to the 'Prevent .ds_store creation across multiple user accounts' hint |
That command could just be:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true That will create/modify the com.apple.desktopservices.plist in the Library Folder without having to move it from your user preferences directory and change permissions.
Is there a way to disable .DS_Store and .Trash on removable media like CF, SD, etc.?
My workaround has been to cp the content to a folder on the desktop without opening the mounted CF card on the desktop. Same for emptying (rm -r /Volumes/NO NAME/*).
Needless to say, cumbersome.
BlueHarvest does this nicely.

Seems awfully similar to an Apple Knowledge Base article :-)
You mean the knowledge base article that was the cause of the original hint linked to by this one? (The original hint goes something like: 'according to this knowledge base article...') ;-)
This is a tedious way to solve a problem. If the problem is that .DS_ files are being written to a network server, tell the network server to veto those files.
For samba, look at the man page for smb.conf and review the veto files parameter. You'll also need to consider how to handle the deletion of folders which ONLY contain a vetoed file, and there's a samba configuration parameter for that too.
That implies you have access to the server to configure it. Or a sysadmin who won't just tell you to 'Use a PC'
There are several 'work-arounds'. I have not tried these. Maybe I could be motivated. I have Windows XP in a virtual machine.
1) Tell windows file server not to store the files on the server:
2) Tell Mac client to skip hidden files.
As you would have to disable writing of hidden files on every mac that could connect to your share, a better option would be to stop this at the share and not on the clients.
All you need to do is to edit your share config (for example in Linux in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and add the following option into your share config:

Now no Mac clients can save any files with those patterns to your share.
[ At one time, Apple used the open source version of samba. So, I assume the veto option was present. Not sure what Apple has done in the latest version. ]
Summary of possibilities. At one time, there was a command line to turn off some or all of these hidden files. Didn't work in Mavericks. Don't know if it was restored in Yosemite.
Not sure why these files would interfere with backup. There files like any other hidden file.
