AppleTalk Prob with OS X 10.7

[blindzero]

AFP? For what...I always thought since Mac OS X AppleTalk is so what deprecated...why not NFS? Even SMB/CIFS is some kind of better then AFP in my understanding of the protocol

Hello,

AFP is convenient, the shares simply show up in the Gui.
SMB corrupts longer Mac file names, so I can't use it.

After searching the web, other Linux based NAS solutions have the same problems (i.e. QNap). Apple dropped "DHCAST128" and uses a newer version.

There is a trick with works by enabling the old version in OS X 10.7, but it has to be done in the terminal on every Mac running 10.7. Not user friendly enough for us.

Maybe open-e will use the newer AFP protocol in the next version.


thx

Hello,

exact the same problem here. It's the authentification!


Apple has dropped the DHCAST128 support and uses DHX2 only.

@ Open-E Team:
PLEASE could you update the Netatalk version you are using, OR
activate DHX2 (I read some companies are simply disabling it) asap.


THANKS and kind regards,

You can send us a Presales email, so we can send you a small update called :
0836-DSS_V6_up65-added_DHX2_UAM

That should fix this issue, also this small update should be added into upcoming DSS release.

Does this fix only enable DHX2?
Or will "all extended AFP" features work for using also Time Machine?
Is the newest version netatalk used?
