  • What do you mean by "moving of files"? Renaming? If you can rename a file or move a file, you can effectively edit or delete it. (In fact, in UNIX, moving is often implemented as a kind of remove. ) On a local filesystem in Linux, a file may be marked "immutable", but that means it cannot either be moved or renamed. In theory, Nautilus plugins can achieve the desired effect, assuming users cannot access NFS in any other way. Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 16:03
  • @Otheus first, they can (via console), and by moving i mean renaming or changing the path, as long as it stays on the disk. i'll add an example Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 16:04

    Just maintain a list of md5 sums on the share, and if some file goes missing, move it back from a backup. That is not NFS solution, you'll need to write a daemon to monitor it, and it -might- have impact on performance. Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 17:22
  • @MikhailKrutov this is not acceptable, because i don't see if a file was simply moved on the share. the only way to notice this is to create the hashes for every file anew. Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 17:32
  • @Armin Yep, that's what I've meant - every time something changes, md5 it. Also, unix.stackexchange.com/questions/92013/… Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 17:34
