Re: 2.2beta1: AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW undeclared

After switching to uclibc-0.9.31 it builds and runs fine. The symbol is defined as of 0.9.30.

Thanks for the hint, Frank!

Release 2.2 beta2

Hi,

I'd like to release the next beta for 2.2 which contains some very
important improvements compared to the previous beta:

Changes in 2.2beta2
====================

* NEW: afpd: AFP 3.3

This encompasses:
* primary AFP reconnect
* AFP replay cache
* extended sleep

Any cons?

I'd like to release it asap in order to give it widespread testing. If
all goes well, I propose releasing 2.2 final by the end of this month.

Best!
-f

Frank,

It seems my Lion box was caching the server capabilities for a while, as 
it was still coming up saying the server didn't support the reply cache 
until I rebooted the client.

You could help some more:
how big is your backup ? Whole client disk with lots of GB ? Good. Then:
- wipe your current backup, start from scratch
- start a TM run
- while it's running, try to break it by
  - putting the client to sleep, eg closing lid, for a minute
  - interrupting network connection, eg unplug the cable or shutdown
Airport, for 20 sec
- meanwhile watch the server log, if it fills with entries similar to
"succesfull primary reconnect", good, this should mean that the client
continued the interrupted backup session

Thanks!

Frank,

During my actual backup it did this a couple of times when the machine 
fell asleep on its own. I'll give it another go this afternoon if you like.

In previous revs of netatalk (before your latest patch) things would get

Re: AppleDouble is broken by long fileneme (>255 UTF8-MAC chars)

Sorry.
This work doesn't have progress because I cannot take time recently.

Current branch-filenamelen limits to 765 Bytes as UTF8-MAC:
   volcharset -> UTF16-MAC -> truncated 765 UTF8-MAC.
This implementation has the problem.

"ᾂ" char:

UTF16      1F82                      1 codepoint (2 Byte)
UTF8       E1 BE 82                  3 Byte
UTF8-MAC   CE B1 CC 93 CC 80 CD 85   8 Byte
UTF16-MAC  03B1 0313 0300 0345       4 codepoint (8 Byte)

The attached filename is 85 "ᾂ" char.
ᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂᾂ

on server:   85 * 3 = 255 Byte
on AFP:      85 * 8 = 680 Byte      ( < 765 Byte )
on HFS+:     85 * 4 = 340 codepoint ( > 255 codepoint ) !!!

This file cannot be saved on HFS+.

It is necessary to limit to 255 codepoint (510 Byte) as UTF16-MAC:
   volcharset -> truncated 255 UTF16-MAC -> UTF8-MAC.

The mangle() in etc/afpd/mangle.c calls convert_charset() in
libatalk/unicode/charcnv.c .
The convert_charset() seems not to support "to UTF16-MAC" conversion.
Therefore, implementation is difficult for me.

Netatalk 2.2 beta2 has been released

Netatalk 2.2-beta2
==================
The Netatalk development team is proud to announce version 2.2-beta2 of
the Netatalk File Sharing suite. This is an unstable version, published
for the sole purpose of receiving wider testing. Do not run this on
production systems.

Netatalk is a freely-available Open Source AFP fileserver. It also
provides a kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite.
A *NIX/*BSD system running Netatalk is capable of serving many Macintosh
clients simultaneously as an AppleShare file server (AFP), AppleTalk
router, *NIX/*BSD print server, and for accessing AppleTalk printers via
Printer Access Protocol (PAP).
Included are a number of minor printing and debugging utilities.

The suite contains:

* afpd - a file server that implements the Apple Filing Protocol, allowing
  clients running MacOS to access Unix file servers
* atalkd - an implementation of the AppleTalk protocol
* papd - a print server that enables Macintosh computers to access printers
  connected to Unix servers
* megatron - a tool to convert files in Macintosh specific formats like
  BinHex, AppleSingle, or MacBinary into files readable by Unix computers
* various supporting programs and utilities

Summary of hot stuff and enhancements since 2.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* AFP 3.3 support
