Description Jeff 2009-07-30 01:57:25 UTC

Once Apple's Time Machine backup on a drive shared by netatalk fills up, it will cause corruption 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup network drive for Apple's Time Machine
2. Backup until drive is full

Actual Results:  
Corruption

Expected Results:  
Time Machine should continue to back up, while removing unnecessary files. 

This is corruption is caused by a lack of support for new AFP commands in the protocol.  There also seems to be an update in the project's CVS which patches this.

There are patches floating around for FPSyncDir support.
