yes, here! :) Same version of netatalk, Solaris 8 (64bit), local disk.
The clients are running MacOS 9.0.4 or 9.1. The error is sporadic, I can
save several documents without any problems. But once I get the error,
the only thing that helps is saving the document to the Mac's disk,
quitting Frame and using the Finder to copy the document over to the
Sun.
I haven't been able to correlate any netatalk error messages to the
problem. Seeing that I can copy the document over the net via Finder,
it must be something Frame-specific. It does seem as if it has something
to do with the lock files; sometimes they keep piling up instead of
getting deleted by Frame on exit.
I'm no netatalk expert, but I'd be willing to help any way I can.
