Thank you for the post. Also thank you filipp for the cnid_metad_enable=”YES” comment, as that solved my problem.

Thanks for the instructions.
Adding AppleTalk support to the kernel is still necessary under 8.1 RELEASE
With the latest 2.1.x version of netatalk, you should also set “cnid_metad_enable=”YES”" in rc.conf
since DBD is the default and preferred DB scheme.

It appears that compiling NETATALK into the kernel is still necessary, even for PCBSD 7.1.1.

If this is not true, I will post back with an update.

This is fabulous. Thanks for taking the initial bullet for all of us. It’s working great on FreeBSD 7.1 i386 and sharing a ZFS raid volume nicely.

I noted 2 more typos on the page:
cd /usr/ports/net/netatalkmake WITH_SRVLOC=yes install

should be:

cd /usr/ports/net/netatalk
make WITH_SRVLOC=yes install

AND
mdnsresponder_flags=”-f /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf

has a quote at the start of the definition but not at the end.

you have the following typo.

netatalk_enable=”YES”atalkd_enable=”YES”

should be:

netatalk_enable=”YES”
atalkd_enable=”YES”
