I believe the question here is, can you tell netatalk to export a
filesystem read-only.
in /etc/exports, one can do it like this:
/usr -ro
Is there a way to specify that in the AppleVolumes files?
If not, how complicated is it to create a patch for an option like this
in the AppleVolumes files?
Furthermore, how complicated is it to create a patch for an option which
says something like "disable AppleDouble and AppleDesktop for this
filesystem"?
Any ideas?
Bye,
Yannai.
