fixing file transfer bug in nautilus


Issue: Nautilus hangs when I try to copy large files to a NAS.

sudo echo $((16*1024*1024)) | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes && \
  sudo echo $((16*1024*1024)) | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes
echo '#!/usr/bin/bash' > ~/test.bash
echo "echo \$((16*1024*1024)) | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes
echo \$((16*1024*1024)) | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes" >> ~/test.bash
chmod +x ~/test.bash

type crontab -e and paste in the following:

@reboot ~/test.bash
