[Netatalk-devel] Questions regarding FPSyncDir patch

[W. M. P. <mi...@fl...>]

I am interested in using Netatalk to host Time Machine backups. I  
have two questions regarding Bolke de Bruin's FPSyncDir work[1].

1. Is this FPSyncDir code, as included in CVS, considered "safe?" It  
seems to work with Time Machine.

2. Does anyone know approximately when a new release will be made  
that will include the FPSyncDir code that is in CVS?

Thanks.

Mike

I've been running code since November backing up two mac laptops to a
Drobo/DroboShare. I also did a full TM based restore of one of the backups
without any issues. This was using the FPSyncDir patch.
Given that about 10 various open source projects were cross-compiled in an
ubuntu vmware image on my osx laptop, for an arm architecture, I actually
find this all rather magical that it works as well as it does.

I'm currently in the process of testing with CVS head and have so far done a
large 5gig backup without issues. That isn't saying much in terms of testing
though. Still more work to do there. =)

cheers,

jon

Well, there's not much not too that code anyway. But it's only in HEAD
and HEAD is HEAD. ;o)
