So what you say is "no, it doesn't"!
Well function does mean for me having the finderinfo and resource fork
properly translated, that applications can be executed and are not just simple files
having a 0 bytes data fork and no resource fork.
Also because of the missing finderinfo you will don't know the type/creator of files.
Some applications refuse to open a file if it has not the appropriate creator/type.
That makes most of the files and all applications useless.
Or did I miss a netatalk feature to translate the files in the .finderinfo/.resource dirs into
AppleDouble data which netatalk uses?
I also don't know any mount option so that you will get .AppleDouble dirs instead of
.finderinfo/.resource dirs.

For me it would be great to have a feature that I can read HFS CD-ROMs mounted on my Linux
CD juke-box.
Sometimes a program to convert between these two representations would suffice.
Though it will waste disk-space and time.
Does anyone know of such a feature or if there is work in progress that netatalk can properly
handle HFS volumes?
Thanks and kind regards
Carsten
