[dolphin] [Bug 501118] Copy a large file causes corruption to a network share

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501118

--- Comment #3 from Kevin Dackiw <[email protected]> ---
I can confirm the addition of cache=none stops the big cache load/flush 
cycle and indeed keeps things steady with the copy.
The target copy did verify correctly.

This was to my file server with SMB multichannel disabled.

Update:  server set to SMB multichannel also is working, and same speed 
as expected.

I tried this before about two months ago and cache=none had no effect, 
so something changed in the meantime :-).  I agree that this seems to be 
a workaround however.

I'm still not 100% sold that it is rock solid and I have been using NFS.
In the meantime, I will go with this being a KDE issue.  How can I help 
to further find the cause of this?

TY!

Kev.
