MacPorts has a netatalk port that you can try out. It's a little old, and might not work well on Apple Silicon, but it should do the job. If you have Docker Engine (Desktop) on you Mac you can pull and run an official Netatalk container. Compiling from source is still the recommended way. It's...

If your OS is up to date enough, I warmly suggests trying out the new Meson build system! And if your OS'es package manager is shipping a too old version of Meson (like.... say Solaris 11), you can try to install it with Python pip instead to get a newer version. We have a new Compile appendix...

The Netatalk team is proud to present version 2.4.0 of the venerable AFP file sharing suite. Grab the source code, or a Docker image, today! This version is primarily a future-proofing release, introducing the modern Meson build system, while integrating an embedded WolfSSL as the encryption...

From my own experience in the American tech industry, those “big picture” decisions do come fast and furious sometimes. I think Apple execs kept everyone oblivious it up until the last minute in case they want to change their minds. Killing off the IIGS without a successor was clearly the final...

I think the default icon originates with the AppleShare Client itself, not Netatalk. Netatalk 2.x has an afpd.conf option "-icon" (inversed as "-noicon") that gives you a custom Netatalk icon, namely the Netatalk mascot on a tray. :)

The Wikipedia article corroborates this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS_(file_server) Now I understand the purpose of the LocalTalk ISA card for IBM PC that I have in a drawer here. :)

I would bet AFPVersion is compiled into the binary machine code, rather than stored in the resource fork... As NJRoadfan says, when you authenticate a client with Netatalk you will get messages like this in the log (note level): afpd[97] {auth.c:228} (note:AFPDaemon): Login by atalk (AFP2.2)...

I found some pretty strong evidence in the documentation for AppleShare IP 5.0, specifically the text file named "AppleShare Client 3.7 Read Me": And, just above that paragraph, the readme also spells out the official AppleShare client compatibility matrix: - System Software 7.5.0 or earlier...

According to Apple's AFP Programming Guide, AFP 2.2 was the version of the protocol that officially introduced AFP over TCP. The same source suggests that AFP 2.1 was rolled out to support System 7.0 specifically. The first AppleShare server version with System 7.0 support was AppleShare 3.0...

Yes, please! And I would also love a log from the error scenario when volsizelimit is unset, for comparison. Also, this troubleshooting thread is getting long in the tooth, so may I ask you to create an issue ticket in the GitHub tracker instead? https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/issues...

Cheers, this is more informative. Can you please remind me: Do you absolutely have to use limitsize and volsizelimit together? The two are operating on the same logic, and my reading of the code is that it may cause a mess under the hood (although it's hard to tell exactly what given its...

No, you need to set it to exactly what I wrote above: “debug” I have documented each environment variable thoroughly at the Docker Hub page for your reference: https://hub.docker.com/r/netatalk/netatalk2

Right, my apologies, I gave you bad information. There is a special environment variable that you need to use to set the log level: AFPD_LOGLEVEL Please set this variable to “debug” (without the quotes) and try again. Thanks!

Happy to help. If you look at https://hub.docker.com/r/netatalk/netatalk2 there's an example how to pass additional options to afpd via the AFPD_OPTIONS environment variable. If you set it to the following string you should start getting debug logs in the stdout of the docker container...

If you capture some debug level logs from the afpd process, there might be hints to what is going wrong in the log output.

If your NAS is running Netatalk 2, then yes. :) Have a look at https://hub.docker.com/r/netatalk/netatalk2

What versions of the AppleShare client are you using on those two systems? Can you try to upgrade to 3.7.4 or later?

@MacBrian You can try the "options:limitsize" AppleVolumes option, and see if that makes a difference. Older AppleShare clients made assumptions about shared volume size based on the file system limits in HFS which will wreak all sorts of havoc on file size calculations when too large numbers...

That TOC is really just a div with absolute positioning! The original author of this layout did a good job making a simple but effective design. The only major change I’ve made is to remove the original PHP code and instead create a custom Python script that builds all pages from html templates...

@Mk.558 The font size of body text has been set to 100% up from 80% across the site. Please let me know if this is easier on your eyes now. The font sizes on the top navbar and left rail menus are kept at the old 80% font size however, to not completely break the pixel perfect layout.
