Hmm.  I did add a .txt file there.  I wonder if it didn't copy properly. 

Ah, I see it is called raspberrypi / ApplePi, so I'm guessing A2SERVER. 

@Byte Knight what are you running that AFP server on, out of curiosity.  Are you taking any public. facing precautions? 

Anyone? Anyone? Bolle? Anyone?

Well, I grew the disk without issue, so that wasn't the problem.  Perhaps it is the hostname change that screwed things up.  Anyways, I am going to just use the new VM with the larger disk; copying my files over now. 

Yes, it works fine.  I am now on the process of applying all my changes to the stock one to see where it might go bad.  So far I added the MACFILES share and it works fine.  Next step making the disk larger. 

I just checked all the config files in /etc/netatalk and there are no differences other than server name.  I did set up my modified a2server with a static IP address, so I tried changing it back to DHCP but this made no difference. It is really baffling.  Not sure what might be causing the...

Okay so from the 540c running 8.1, it *can* access the stock a2server but I have the same problem on my modified one.  So something in my settings is causing the issue.  I'll keep poking around.  And 8.1 on the 540c can see both servers now that they are on the same zone. 

Ok, so, a couple of things to report. The good:  I downgraded the v6 firmware from 6.28 to 6.25 and now I can copy to it from the 540c.  I'll let codesrc know. The bad: I played around with two other 540c's and _just_ swapping the ram boards seems to have borked two of them.  Not sure WTF is...

Oh, and BTW, I had to downgrade Virtualbox from the 6.1.x release branch to the 6.0.18 release as there is a bug that won't let a Virtualbox VM create a bridge with a thunderbolt ethernet adapter that was introduced in the 6.1 branch. 

Well, I now have two a2server instanced, both with the same zone name (in /etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf) and different host names (in /etc/hostname) and with the A2SERVER zone selected, I can see both servers.  So at least we know _that_ part works.  Now to fire up the 540c and try it with the stock...

Well, that may be a just plain wrong now that I found this: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/mac/pdf/Networking/Introduction_to_AppleTalk.pdf Ok, so far so good. Ah, ok.  So everything on the same non-bridged network has to be in the same zone.  So I guess running two...

Well, I've been reading up a little on Appletalk Zones, and I think this is the way it works. - Apple talk zones allow you to segment stuff on your network to make it more manageable.  But it isn't a physical separation like a VLAN or different sub-networks, it it just a naming separation. -...

Hmm, well @cheesestraws other than adding a new share and enlarging the disk of the default a2server VM, I haven't made any other changes to the configuration.  I would assume then that it has Appletalk enabled, that seeming to be the point of the a2server setup.  But I'm just guessing.  I'll...

So, the thing is, my internal SCSI2SD is flawless.  I've never had issues with that one.  It is only when trying to copy to the external v6 on that It has issues.  And the system is never trying to sleep, as I have that turned off.  I can't help but wonder if I flashed a newer version of the...

Well, this is an a2server, so as a server it only has TCP/IP.  And I've connected to it via TCP/IP from my G4 Mini just fine; it does prompt me for the user and password like on the Lombard when I selected it via the Appletalk browser.

Well, yes, to get the Mac share running, but that is all.  Did you modify yours to create a Mac share? 

I've got my trusty 540c that I've been using for a while to archive floppy disks.  It's got an internal SCSI2SD Powerbook edition that it boots from, either into 7.6.1 or 8.1, and an external SCSI2SD v6 that I use for storing the archived floppy images for easy copy to my modern Mac.  Some time...

Progress.  If I select Appletalk under the control panels on system 8, I found that I had to choose the Ethernet network, which was part of the solution for setting things right.  And it found the a2server zone.   Then in the chooser it could see the Appletalk server. However, it could not...

So, I have yet to experience the a2server showing up in the chooser as an Appletalk server for any Mac.  Under OS 9, I can use the network browser to mount an Appleshare server via an IP address. Under OS 8, there is an option in the chooser for this as well, but it was not able to mount the...
