Hi Wolf,

Unfortunately I am keep wrestling with that.
As a workaround for my specific situation I am heavily relying on sshfs.

Nevertheless my case is pretty straightforward since I just need to
access an Android device to install some apps on it therefore a shared
FS works just fine for me, anyway keep me posted if you find a solution
since I would like to get it right.

Cheers,
Pietro
