Hi,
I've also played around with using Netatalk (netatalk-asun-2.1.3nb4 on
NetBSD i386) to serve Mac OS X.
I don't think Mac OS X likes it at all. I've heard issues like yours,
where upon login, you can see all the files, but they are zero length.
But I don't recall any conclusive answers to these problems. :-(
It seems to me, that this is a problem with directory and how they are
read on MOSX Finder from Netatalk. There are some directories in which
all files are zero length, and other directories whose files are non-zero
length.
Nonetheless, I cannot seem to open files directly from them (zero-length
or not). I can copy them to my directories the finder and then open them
without problem. However, attempts to copy them directly through the
terminal window, seems crash the system to a grinding halt (or perhaps
the GUI)
I wonder whether this is a problem with caching. The exact same
directories are readable/unreadable each time the share is mounted, hence
MOSX may have cached, which directories are readable and which are not--
even renaming the directory, the renamed directory is still readable/
unreadable as before.
Any one else has any clues?
Later,
Lucas.
