Subject: [netatalk-admins] Problems with reported file sizes - please help
From: Eric Rasmussen (ear@usfirst.org)

For several months now, I have had netatalk 1.3.3 running happily on a
Linux 2.0.30 system. The client Macs are running System 7.1, and 7.5.1.
I recently upgraded the AFPD shared directory tree from a 100 Mb hard drive
to a 3.7 Gb partition on an even larger drive. Although the unix system
seems to have no trouble dealing with the large partition, the Macs are
getting some crazy results. For instance, if I open a folder that resides
on the Unix server, I get a mixture of positive and negative file sizes.
Simple actions such as dragging a small file (<100Kb) from the desktop to
the network folder now fail, telling me that it needs 900+ Mb additional
space, when in reality there is over 3 Gb free.
Let me reiterate that, from within a Unix shell account, it is clear that
the Unix system has no trouble identifying the proper file sizes and amount
of free space, nor has it had any problems moving data to/from the new
partition.
Is there some maximum partition size above which AFPD fails? If not, does
anyone have any suggestions? I really need to get this working again,
because it's for my place of work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
