It can and does exactly this - when a Mac accesses a file that doesn't
have a resource fork on a netatalk share, netatalk constructs a minimal
resource file based on its extension mapping in... uhm... AppleVolumes.system?
I can't remember the exact file, it's been a while since I've had to run
netatalk. This is fine for files with only a little metadata, but is
obviously going to break for files which store extra info in the resource
fork, as I understand some Mac things do.

You go insane if you go without sleep for too long.
And not in a good way, either.
