Netatalk and ACL - migrating from mac mini server to 9.10

[Ashley Drees]

Hi.

I am in the process of migrating a file store from OSX 10.11.x to FreeNAS 9.10, i have the afp share set up and users pulled from the OD - but am seeing many error messages like...

rsync: chown "/Volumes/Shared_Files/xls.pdf" failed: Operation not permitted (1)

and

copyfile(Board/Meetings/Total_Blaa.pdf, COPYFILE_UNPACK) failed:45

I have looked long and hard and it seems that there is no way to get 9.10 FreeNAS to support apple ACL...

Can someone confirm this -

if anyone has migrated in this way before, i would be glad to hear from you.

I was intending to copy the files with the following command line.

rsync -SauWE --delete --stats /Volumes/Data/Shared_Files/ /Volumes/Shared_Files

but it might be sensible to NOT use the -a switch.

The files need to be fully accessible to everyone in the OD, so i suppose in reality i do not need to set user and group per file.

Best guess is when you created the dataset, you didn't select the 'Mac' share type.

You should also consider using SMB over AFP, since Apple now use SMB as the default protocol.

Thanks, i'll check on what i did with the dataset, but i think i did select Mac type.

The issue with using SMB, (which i would gladly use), is that the directory connector does not like the OD/LDAP setup on OSX 10.11.x as it does not have the samba extensions as it is not samba, so without fiddling with the OD to give the samba extensions i cannot use it for SMB auth, and i do not want to mess with the OD setup just now.
