(Submitted this via email, but since reports are happening on the forum now, I’m sharing here as well!) Expected behavior File access in volumes should be comparable to access times in non-volumes, similarly to Linux installations of docker, or docker on mac via docker-machine and VirtualBox. Actu…

I agree. In fact I think they should pull Docker For Mac permanently until they can get a fix for this. It’s a fools errand to try to develop on mac with this tool. Why devote all the effort to this is other areas when this Achilles heel will bring down the entire project in terms of usefulness f…

Well, this thing is irritating - true, but I don’t think that it makes Docker for Mac useless. Actually I use docker-compose + docker-sync in a project where other team members are Linux users and it’s not that bad. I even wrote an article about how some things may be tweeked (thanks to this threa…

I have to agree. Can be better, yes… but already really useful… yes. I use for all Drupal 7/8 sites with a my own custom UNISON container approach to managing this particular issue, and have no other issues. I’m looking forward to this being resolved, but doesn’t actually get in the way of any dev…

It still works fine if you aren’t sharing a large number of files in a volume. But for example, our test suite takes 20x as long running in docker vs not so people no longer run tests in docker for development. I am concerned Docker has gone completely silent on this. I would like to know if this…

Any official update from a member of the Docker for Mac team would be great. There’s info in the docs specifically about this issue ( https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs/#performance-issues-solutions-and-roadmap ), but I don’t think it has been updated for several months.

Hi everyone. A few months ago I encounter NFS limitation when I need to restore a database file with size more than 300MB. NFS simply time out when in use. So, I switched to use docker-sync instead. For the databases, I use named volumes and only pull the files out as a backup rather than mounting t…

Hey, I have used D4M for months now for Symfony and eZ Platform projects. I looking forward to testing the new :cached option or Docker when released. I don’t really like docker-sync as it duplicates everything… but anyway, why would you use NFS for your database? I have used D4M with DB bigger than…

With todays release of docker-sync 0.4.0 we probably have a promising final solution. Since the new :cached mode wont be to effective ( see https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync/wiki/4.-Performance ) we will need a external solution anyway - :cached is still 50 times slower then native. The bi…

Tried every option and landed with this one. Making use of docker-sync (currently using 0.4.6) is by far the fastest solution. The real difference is noticeable especially with PHP applications. Would really like to see that the Docker team looks into integration this the Docker core somehow …
