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.

Subject: Mac X access to XFS filesystem on SCSI device problem?


[snip]

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.

This is strange. '-50' normally indicates a problem with filenames. I don't known enough about multilanguage support to be able to comment on this. I succeeded by trying to copy smaller parts of a directory tree (like, the first level of subdirectories apart from each others), which helped alot (for OS 9 Clients).

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.

netatalk-1.4b2 is ancient right now. To pipe up to the xfs motto, please try a more recent version if possible (like 1.6.0 or even 1.6.1pre2, which is to become 1.6.1 shortly). Also, Mac OS X is known to have problems with netatalk in earlier versions. Would an upgrade to the recently available 10.2.4 be possible for further testing?

Regards,
    Harald
