I have unRaid installed on a flash drive and have booted it (the basic version).  I have a couple of questions:

I want to backup my macs to the share.  I have read the instructions on how to install netatalk.  The instructions say not to publish the "share" due to errors.  If I publish just the disk, does the parity etc. still apply to the mac files?  Also if I add packages they disappear when I reboot.. (since everything is stored on the flash drive including the root partition etc.).  Also

 

Thanks for any info.

Yes, writing to a disk share directly (not a user share) will update parity. So long as it's not the cache drive!

 

I think the rest of your post has been mangled!

I found the page that describes how to add netatalk.  And I found the page that tells how to rebuild the root file system when I add the packages.  I would rather export the user share to Mac OSX.. does anyone know when this problem would be fixed?

 

THx,

I caveat this by saying I know 0 about netatalk under unraid, but having read the howto I'm not sure it will be.

 

Netatalk isn't supported by unraid officially and the user share system is proprietary to unraid.

 

You might have luck finding out *why* user shares cause the errors in the nettalk db and what the consequences of that are and work from there.  I fit just means the database gets a bit large and needs pruning periodically it might not be an issue.

I am interested in getting netatalk to run well.  I am not sure where to get more information regarding the problem of running nettalk on a share rather than a disk.  I doubt that the netatalk guys would consider it their problem, any pointers are welcome..

The netatalk post is unclear as to what errors you get if you run it on a share.

 

What happens if you do? Have you tried?

 

 

Running it now.. it occasionally droops the connection, it doesnt show file sizes on some files.  I was going to update the netatalk to 2.1.2.
