Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64
Version: 2.6.32+29
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


With Linux 2.6.32 as supplied with Debian Squeeze, Netatalk is unable
to thrive. Connections made to afpd will open, but attempting to transfer
files will take a very long time and/or eventually time out.

I've noted this with both Netatalk as supplied with Squeeze and with
Netatalk 2.2.1 built from the Wheezy source package, which I evidently
need for AFP 3 support.

Installing Linux 3.2 from backports, with no other changes to the system,
allows afpd to work correctly. I hit on the idea of trying this after
installing a Fedora 16 system to compare performance and to try to isolate
the issue. Fedora 16 uses a newer kernel.

As it stands, Netatalk is unusable in Squeeze without a newer kernel. I
assume this to be an issue with the kernel that can be addressed and
corrected for the next minor release, and I'd be happy to help try to
isolate it and test any correction that's devised.
