Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk trashing MacBinaries

Currently running the latest version of Netatalk with AppleshareIP
support.
Trying to use it as a file server/backup for our Macintosh clients.
For the most part works great, having a problem with some Mac files
getting trashed however.
Back up files to it, and at first they appear fine. Go back to retreive
these files at a later date. And they are no longer recognized for the
file types that they should be. And are unable to open them any longer.
The first time I noticed this was with a Photoshop file. I had given the
file a .PS extention. From what I could tell, the Mac thought it was a
Postscript file. I started giving my photoshop files a .psh extension and
added this extension to the AppleVolumes.system file. This seemed to help.
What about mac binary files that don't have an extension.. is there any
hope... Or do I just need to add more extensions to the AppleVolume.system
file, and make sure all my Mac files have an appropriate extension?
Help comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Kevin
