[2.3] Remove obsoleted style of appledouble support #668
Comments
At a related note, I don’t think EA works properly on 2.2/2.3 although we have an option for it: |
While reading the code, I found traces of an undocumented "sfm" style of appledouble metadata. Searching the mailing lists suggests it was written for interoperability with a historical hack for a Samba hack by now-defunct Israeli company Exanet. I will remove the code for this option in the same PR. https://sourceforge.net/p/netatalk/mailman/message/22638728/ |
I suspect "sfm" means "Services For Macintosh", which was an AFP server that Microsoft shipped with Windows Server 2000 and 2003. On NTFS it should be using alternate data streams to store the resource forks of files. I don't know how it handled forks on FAT32 drives. |
We currently support an obsoleted OSX 10.3 style AppleDouble metadata. I believe it was a transitional format before EA became the standard on OSX. Let’s remove the option and related code.
