Has anyone gotten options:limitsize (in AppleVolumes.default) to work in
asun2.1.4-pre36a? I added it to the config for our primary netatalk
volume in order to work around some broken Mac software, and nothing
happened -- the free-space number displayed on the Macs remained around 7
GB. Other configuration changes on the same config line (options:ro, and
so on) do work, so afpd is successfully reading the file. No error
messages in the log or anything -- the option just doesn't seem to take.
AFP has two ways of getting the amount of disk space free. one way
uses a 32-bit number while the other uses a 64-bit one. limitsize only
influences the 32-bit one under the assumption that anything that's
going to use the 64-bit one already has dealt with overflow
issues. are the old broken programs still broken? if so, i'll restrict
the 64-bit number as well.
