Bug Description

Binary package hint: netatalk

The client error is "the server "xyz" has closed down" Besides being annoying, it broke my time machine backup.
According to some googling, this seems to be fixed in 2.1.3 and is not exclusive to ubuntu maverick. It seems to be connected to issues netatalk has with the linux tcp/ip stack.

I'm running a fresh 10.10 64bit install

Going to:
Build, install & run my own 2.1.5 netatalk package
Will report back if this fixes the issue

Yep, this works, 2.1.5 hasn't dropped the connection in about 24 hours.

Confirmed here as well. Could somebody please version bump this package cause it is seriously broken now.

I second that: several disconnects per day. I can't fullfill a Time Machine backup anymore.
Should I switck to a Synology NAS?!?

I can also confirm this (using 10.04). I read this is becuase Apple updated AFP to 3.3. Netatalk 2.2 should fix this. Is it possible to backport?
