I'm in the process of setting up a server running Mandrake 6.0 (similar to Red Hat 6.0). I'm using Red Hat's 2.2.5-22 kernel and netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3. I have an optical drive (uses 650 MB PD disks) connected to the SCSI bus. I can put in a Mac formatted PD disk, mount it, and read it. I can copy it to my ext2 partition, go to a Mac, connect via chooser, and read the copy from the ext2 partition. The problem is when I try to access the PD disk over the network from a Mac. I can copy many files just fine, but some files cause the Mac to say that there is a disk error and then the Mac says that the server's connection has unexpectedly closed down. It seems that files with a resource fork but no data fork are more likely to do this. I have a Red Hat 5.2 system (2.0.36 kernel) with the same setup, and it does not have this problem. Any ideas? Are any other kernel 2.2 users able to access an HFS volume from a Mac? Would Samba/Dave be more reliable? Thanks, Brandon
