Out of curiosity why do you provide network volumes via afp from a linux machine? Wouldn't it be easier to use NFS or Samba? Afaik Mac OS X understands and provides both protocols. I only have good experiences with Samba shares at one company I worked. I haven't tried NFS shares with Mac OS X so I don't know if there are any obvious bugs in OS X handling NFS. Is it possible to set up a test environment where NFS or Samba provides the network volumes/shares. In addition if Linux provides afp shares I doubt that I can reproduce it here. I can set up a linux machine but I have no clue how to set it up providing afp network shares so I'd like to know if this also occures if you try to use NFS or Samba shares to which I may have easier access.
