Hi there;
I have the same experience some time ago.
I wrote a patch for netatalk-1.5.0/3 that can help you to workaround problem.
If my memory doesn't fail me the issue is as follows (as short as possible):
AFP uses unique file number for internal needs which is two bytes of length.
Netatalk does something like this ((st->st_dev << 16) | (st->st_ino &
0x0000ffff))
to get such a number. I'd like to mention that it must be unique per request
only.
As xfs has 64bits inode number and it has inconsequent order, sometimes we get
the same file numbers in the same request that causes "error -50" on MacOS.
kind regards,
Alexey Kotovich ICQ:97715595
