Not from my experience, but, hey, what do I know ;-)

For you perhaps, but if OMV will not help, well......

That sort of says a lot, if it was that big a problem and multiple users 
were complaining, then it probably would get fixed, but there are only 
so many developers and they have only so much time available to fix 
things and add new features, so the most important things get fixed 
first. We do, however, accept patches to fix things, so perhaps you can 
get together with OMV and fix it from your end ;-)
