Disk locked - Help with setup #2423
-
|
Hi, I'm trying to setup an afp share that works with Mac OS 8.6. I have gotten it to connect on Mac OS 8.6 but it says that the disk is locked. I have created a user on debian that created the share folder so as far as I know it should have permissions to write to that folder. When I connect on a modern mac to the folder it is also locked and says that the user "Unknown" has read/write permissions. Does anyone have any ideas of where I'm going wrong? Here is my current afp.conf: `; Netatalk 4.x configuration file [Global] [MacDrive] ; [my backup] |

Fixed the issue. I hadn't built Netatalk with Berkeley DB library. After that I could connect to it and edit files. I have also changed my conf file and this now lets me connect on both Mac OS 8.6 and Tahoe. |

Thanks for sharing your update on the matter. Which CNID backend library did you use before switching to Berkeley DB? As matter of fact, Berkeley DB is going away in the future (because it's abandoned software), so I'm very motivated to make sure that the alternatives (SQLite and MySQL/MariaDB) works as a drop-in replacement. Which version of netatalk are you using, and how did you install it? What is the host OS? I would love to get your help getting to the bottom of this. :) |

It seems the issue was my ability to read instructions :) I somehow completely missed the part where you had to tell it which backend to use in the conf so it wasn't using any backend. I have now switched it over to sqlite and it seems to be working fine. I saw it was an expeirmental backend, but I'm using this server more for transferring files, so data loss is not as important. |

Ah I think I understand what happened: The fallback when no other database library is available, is the I'm thinking now that we should simply error out in the build system if neither database library (bdb, sqlite, mysql) can be found. This should give a clearer signal to users. Thoughts? |

Filed #2449 to make this better. |

Ah I see. Yes I think your change would have helped me figure out the issue. Because it said disk locked I went down the path of thinking it was a permission issue and spent a lot of time trying to diagnose it like that. Thanks for the help! |

Ah I think I understand what happened: The fallback when no other database library is available, is the
lastbackend which uses a read-only trivial database. So the AFP client will obviously report a locked disk when using this backend. We keeplastaround primarily for our automated tests.I'm thinking now that we should simply error out in the build system if neither database library (bdb, sqlite, mysql) can be found. This should give a clearer signal to users. Thoughts?
