Subject: Netatalk and NFS

Does anyone share folders with Netatalk that are actually NFS mounts from
another machine?
Here's my setup:
Linux 2.2.17 NFS ---> Linux 2.2.16 Netatalk ---> Mac OS Clients
My Netatalk server (running 1.5pre3) only has a 4GB drive (and is only
expandable using SCSI-2 drives that are mucho $$$ in price) while my NFS
server has a 46GB IDE drive. I would like to use that 46GB drive
transparently from the one netatalk server.
I've mounted a few directories on my Netatalk server from the NFS server:
[darron@computer darron]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 242M 146M 83M 64% /
/dev/sda8 1.3G 387M 845M 31% /home
/dev/sda5 145M 7.0k 138M 0% /tmp
/dev/sda7 1.6G 1.3G 230M 85% /usr
/dev/sda4 218M 104M 102M 50% /var
/dev/sda6 290M 136M 139M 50% /web
server:/home/darron/MP3
40G 7.1G 31G 19% /home/darron/mp3
server:/home/darron/archives
40G 7.1G 31G 19% /home/darron/archives
server:/home/darron/backup
40G 7.1G 31G 19% /home/darron/backup
I have no problems working with these files in the NFS mounted directories
when I'm logged in to the shell or remotely via FTP and HTTP.
I cannot copy/write to those NFS mounted directories via Netatalk - I get
errors:
"The item $Item cannot be read because it's in use."
"The item $item cannot be written because it's in use."
I can copy and write to directories that aren't NFS mounted just fine.
Anyone have any ideas for me? Anyone already doing this?
Would it be a workaround to smbmount those directories?
