Users are encourage to update their servers to the 3.1 release series which can be considered stable enough for production systems. There's much necessary maturing of Thunderbolt technology still to arrive - hopefully it arrives anyway,Īnd then there's Apple's very sloppy transition away from AFP to SMB. Netatalk 3.1.2 is available The Netatalk development team is proud to announce the third release of the Netatalk 3.1 release series. I fried a Sonnet Thunderbolt PCI enclosure & Thunderbolt cable by hot unplugging a Mini DisplayPort monitor from the Sonnet. I've also had a hard time finding RAID controllers that actually work as expected in Thunderbolt systems. However Thunderbolt is just too easy to inadvertently unplug. My point being was that the end users *by far* preferred the Mac servers over the Windows servers. From my testing at work, Netatalk 2.2 b4 has been pretty solid. I didn't configure anything except this try in the /etc/netatalk/nf: -passwdfile/etc/passwd/. Netatalk 2.2 should fix the disconnect issue were getting when a TM backup initiates. It essentially works but I want netatalk to use the default system users (passwd / shadow files) for authentication. Sometimes there would be yet another change in IT personnel and they would get their Mac servers back. Now I installed netatalk (via apt-get) to use AFP to connect my Mac to the VM. If youre seeing problems with Macs connecting to SMB servers you are not alone. In my example users anne & brian will be created. The default location for most Linux distros. Sometimes these users would protest loud enough and they would get their Mac servers back. Enables users to automatically logging into a NIS account. Create a place for the users home folder with mkdir /home/. Sometimes there would be a change in IT personnel who would then eliminate the Mac servers, only to have the users return to a slow, miserable experience. The users would have all sorts of compatibility & performance problems with the Windows servers and a Mac server would make them happy campers.

Several times I was successful at deploying Mac servers within departments in enterprise.

Attaching SAS or Mini-SAS RAID was very reliable too. Never had one bit of hardware failure with any of them. nouservol: Enables or disables reading of the users individual.

In the Mac-based small business environment I loved the old Mac Pro towers. Specifies path to AppleVolumes.system file (default is /etc/netatalk//AppleVolumes.system).
