Yes. I ran netatalk 1.4b2 for a long time, creating tens of thousands of
files, before upgrading to asun2.1.2-2. Only a few dozen of them have
this problem, though.
Is this proposed -v1compat switch something that I will have to run
with forever, or will I be able to do a one-time-only conversion of all
of my files?
Besides my home server, where I experiment, I run netatalk in a large
public school system where we have hundreds of thousands of files, and
many many thousands of student users, and I sure don't want to have
problems like this suddenly show up in the middle of the school year..
I am at this moment in another window rdisting about 400,000 files from
an old Ultrix machine to a new FreeBSD machine at the school. I deduce
from tonight's exchange that it would be a bad idea for me to turn the
students loose on it just yet....
Too bad there's no "find -magic" option to let me survey the damage.
