Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk and "native" HFS ability?

To the best of my knowledge Linux 2.1.X has HFS support (at least it
worked very well with LinuxPPC on a Mac). Now what about accessing via
Netatalk such an HFS volume (ZIP disk, CD, ...) mounted on a Linux
machine? Will Netatalk write the resource fork and file information in
the correct place or will it still use auxillary files/directories to
store that information (which will not be understood when the volume is
mounted on a real Mac).
To give a simple example: can I mount an HFS format CD on a Linux
machine (with hfs kernel support) and export it to a Mac which then can
use it as if it was exported from another Mac (incl. resource forks)?
