Problem using appletalk with MacOS X to a scsi hd with XFS.

[Seth Mos <knuffie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have someone from promise who is having problems accessing files over 
Appletalk using MacOS X to a scsi disk.
If anyone else out there is using this combination I would appreciate the help.
I have access to the hardware but not the time to spare at the moment for 
setting up appletalk attaching scsi disks to my testbox etc.

Dear,

I create a partition with XFS on SCSI device, and copy a lot of files 
(about 500M bytes) from Mac X to this partition, sometimes it will fail 
with error message "-50".
I test this with xfs 1.01, xfs 1.1 and xfs 1.2 pre-release#5, the problem 
also happen.

But when the partition is ext2 on scsi device, XFS on IDE device or ext2 on 
IDE device, they are OK.
It happens with XFS on SCSI device access from Mac X.

Netatalk version is : netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3
Mac version is : Mac X 10.1.4 Japanese version

May you let me know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Best Regards,
Scott Liu
