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
