+      The binary database format that dconf uses by default is not suitable for use on NFS, where mmap does 
not
+      work well. To handle this common use case, dconf can be configured to use a plain text keyfile instead 
of
+      a binary database. The keyfile is put in the <filename><envar>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME</envar>/dconf</filename>
+      directory.

+      To enable keyfile storage, add a line containing <literal>service-db:keyfile/user</literal> to the file
+      <filename>/etc/dconf/profile/user</filename>.
