I have a smb filesystem mounted over a shaky vpn connection.
Much of the time this works, but if the share hangs for some reason,
emacs also stops responding, waiting for the share to come back.
I currently solve this by unmounting/remounting the filesystem, but
its all very inconvenient.
It would be neat if a directory hierarchy could be marked "unstable"
and using copying instead of direct writes, much as Tramp works.
I guess this would ideally be handled at the os level, but I have
twiddled mount paramters back and forth to no avail.
Any hints are apreciated.
