OSX color labels and custom icons AFP file share

[geo79au]

why can i not assign OSX color colour labels and custom icons to files and folders using AFP on a thecus n5200 firmware 2.00.15

i logged in with ssh and had look at the netatalk config files in the N5200.

cat /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default

"/raid0/data/nsync" "nsync" options:usedots,noadouble maccharset:UTF8-MAC volcharset:UTF8
"/raid0/data/usbhdd" "usbhdd" options:usedots,noadouble maccharset:UTF8-MAC volcharset:UTF8
"/raid0/data/usbcopy" "usbcopy" options:usedots,noadouble maccharset:UTF8-MAC volcharset:UTF8
"/raid0/data/core" "core" options:usedots,noadouble maccharset:UTF8-MAC volcharset:UTF8

I found the same thing, even more troublesome was that things like Bundles do not work on AFP mounts using these settings.

I have changed my configuration to use

adouble:osx options:usedots

instead of

options:usedots,noadouble

With these modifications all things seem to work as expected, and I have not experienced trouble since applying this change.

It was more tricky to prevent these changes to be overwritten every time I change the master configuration, since the file is automatically created from some script based on the SQLite folder configuration. I have set up a cron job to rewrite the file and then do a restart of the afp server.

Can't send you the details, since my RAID is currently migrating ... 8^)

thanks
I had a look at the netatalk documentation.

netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/htmldocs/AppleVolumes.default.5.html

i removed the noadouble altogether so that defaults become effective. adouble:V2

there was a note about not using adouble:osx which i didn't really understand.

If you could post the information about setting up a cron job to restart afpd that would be great
