Hi list, On serveral servers I have netatalk running for the Macintosh clients. There is a problem that occurs from time to time, when the users suddenly have an empty network share, no files or dirs in it. On busy servers it occurs every week, on other servers approx. every month.
On the server the files are actually there, but just not seen by the clients. The solution is to stop the atalkd daemon, delete the /.AppleDB directory in the top of the share and start atalkd again. All files are then seen by the clients. I could let fcron do this every day, but sometimes the clients have huge jobs running overnight, so this is a bad idea. This problem is happening on systems running atalkd version 1.6.1. (TSL 2.0) On some older systems running old SuSE 8, atalkd (version 1.5.1.1) this problem never occurs, but there isn't a /.AppleDB directory created by the daemon. Does anybody know what the advantage of the AppleDB dir over the old method is and is there a way to disable this "feature"? All ideas are very welcome. -- Ari�n Huisken Xilay Software _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
