hi! i'm running the netatalk-1.4b2+asun-2.1.3-6 rpm on a intel redhat 6.1 machine. some days ago i failed to copy some files from the server down to a mac. the mac gives a "-50 error", and syslog reports: Apr 27 09:58:26 foo afpd[6793]: afp_openfork: ad_open: Input/output error the files in question are all from 1997, and haven't been accessed in quite a while. the files were created by an older version of netatalk, but that occured long before i got the responsability of the server. i have scanned the archives of this lists, and yes: - the user/me has user+group write access both toplevel .AppleDesktop-directory and recursivly down all .AppleDouble's to where the files in question are located. the problem appears to be with the .appledouble files. I can open an EPS-file with ghostview on the server. this file won't copy down to the mac. when i delete the corresponding entry in the .appledouble directory, then i suddenly can copy the file to the mac, and it opens ok with illustrator. now, to make matters more complicating, the "-50 error" does not apply to _all_ the files in the directories. files which won't copy show up on the mac as of "simple text"-type, while those that _will_ copy have correct creator type. thus, i think that upgrading netatalk was not the cause of these errors, because then i would expect that all the old files were corrupt. i also tried to do adv1tov2 on various directories. responds: adv1tov2 not built for v2 AppleDouble files. so i'm stuck here after days with troubleshooting, and i hope someone can help me further, with these questions: - is there a way to validate (and correct) the integrity of a file in the .appledouble directory? - is there some other thing i have overlooked ? - if i fail to correct this problem, i think i will delete all the .appledouble files, hoping that nothing useful is stored in the resource fork. does anyone have experience on this for files of type: quarkXpress, stuffit-archives, tiff, jpeg and eps? best regards, j�rgen -- j�rgen binningsb� in steepness is safety sivilarbeider i Under Dusken - w. c. slingsby jobb: 73 89 96 09 | 73 89 96 70 | 73 53 18 13 www.underdusken.no privat: 73 53 05 16 | 73 92 19 33
