[netatalk 3.0] Anybody using this version?

[chat1410]

I installed python2-dbus and upgraded to netatalk 3.0.1-4. No dice, Time Machine still couldn't locate my backup drive. I created /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service and put the below in it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
<port>548</port>
</service>
<service>
<type>_device-info._tcp</type>
<port>0</port>
<txt-record>model=MacBook</txt-record>
</service>
</service-group>
')

After restarting avahi-daemon and netatalk, my Lion installation was able to do a backup. If one makes afpd.service before upgrading you'll get a message asking you to remove it. I suspect installation is supposed to create afpd.service but doesn't for some reason.

To anyone still having issues with netatalk 3.0.1-4, make the above file and you should be all set.

I would guess those dsi_tcp.c errors in your log may mean something (although it seems like it goes into a successful fall-back).

As a strange aside, I migrated my LAN IPs to a different block, 192.168.123.xxx. I thought I caught and corrected all relevant conf files in my PogoPlug, I guess I missed one. Despite apparently listening on 192.168.1.77, Time Machine has been working without issue for me (I use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and ifconfig reports the correct address).

from the looks of it the cnid server didnt start up?! i dont know wht to do to get that started up.. since this is a new install its not anything database related. maybe i will wait for 3.0.1-15 which should be out in the next few days as it is up on arch aur already.. thanks for all your help!

[chat1410]

I just updated my netatalk to netatalk-3.0.1-15. Ignoring the message about removing the old afpd.service configuration, I restarted netatalk. My Lion installation was unable to perform a Time Machine backup again.

Renaming (or removing) the /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service file and restarting netatalk allowed my Lion installation to perform a Time Machine backup.

[yeehaa]

i renamed the afpd.service file which i had created for "14" and rebooted my goflex home.. now the avahi errors are gone and starts up fine.. but i still cannot connect thro afp to the plug.. i have the exact same settings as before.. everything is loaded and active.. no errors in log.. i'm stumped!

I was wondering if anyone of you had seen these errors when using netatalk (latest version from the repos and a PogoPlug E02)-

[SOLVED 1/28 - by looking at the small print of the Wiki on updating/changing shares] When logging on:
Something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using temporary CNID DB instead.Check server messages for details. Switching to read-only mode.

[Still an issue 1/28] When copying from the Finder
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to modify some items.

I do have read access, but not being able to right to the share is what is missing. I had similar problems trying to use SAMBA
