The difference-NFS-Netatalk
Authored by: Captain Scarlet on Mar 07, '02 11:01:29AM

Hello!!

I've used both. NFS and Netatalk.


And what I've seen, is that Netatalk is faster then NFS(UDP), but NFS is way more stable. Netatalk quits and gives error's, NFS doesn't do that.

Now if your running just OS 9, use Netatalk. NFS support on OS 9, sucks!!
If your running OS X, use NFS!!!!!

Plus the Appledouble problem doesn't happen with NFS.

My people haven't *itched about the connection closing on me, anymore!!!

And oh yeah the Box is a G3 233mhz with 80GB, running LinuxPPC using the 2.4.18 kernel.

We have had no problems here with Netatalk 1.5pre8 on a Linux Mandrake box.

I mount a Netatalk volume to listen to about 20GB of music every day / all day.

No problems at all.

Do you find that any file names longer than a certain number of characters (is it 32?) do not appear when you browse the files through Netatalk? A small thing perhaps, but it certainly interferes with the longish filenames of my old time radio shows....

netatalk for appletalk
Authored by: macubergeek on Mar 07, '02 09:35:55PM

Am i missing something here, but I thought Netatalk was to enable a nix like os to provide Appletalk filesharing?
