These are the problems I faced with my clients and their netatalk
servers. The -199 error when saving is a Quark 4.1 problem. Quark
tries to write a Preview into the resource fork of the file (i
think), the latest asun patches fix this little problem and more...
The solution is to compile netatalk1.4b2+asun214 37b, with an
addition to the sys/linux/Makefile, which is in your netatalk source
directory. That addition is DEFS= -DUSE_FLOCK_LOCKS. Once you have
done that, compile your new netatalk asun214 server!
This forces the use of the 'old' file locking code, which does not
disrupt quark. Please note that this is work around for Quark, and
will foul up anyone WANTING the new file locking for Omnis etc. It
disables the new work asun is doing with file locking(sorry asun!),
but it's the only way to get Quark to behave.
You can download the source from:

Happy compiling...
