Mac remote system pollution

Mac does pollute remote file systems it is mounted to by default. It spreads .DS_Store files all over them. I found a solution to prevent that.

  1. In a Mac terminal a command needs to be executed: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

  2. Additionally samba can be configured to ignore those files. For each share defined in an smb.conf this directive has to be put in: veto files = /.DS_Store/
