Re: [Netatalk-admins] Netatalk 4.2.0

[Daniel M. <da...@mi...>]

Hi Michael,

I agree that there are valid reasons for wanting case-sensitive volume names.
Therefore we have introduced the "volume name" option in this version.
If you set "volume name" to the string that was previously the section ID, you will get the same behavior as previously.

For example:

[my volume]
path = /my/path
volume name = My AFP Volume

The full release notes has some more details and discussion on this, as well.

Cheers,

Daniel
