[ I confirm..... same behavior on our servers. ]
It would be great if some future version of netatalk could implement some kind of -cleanfs option, where any HFS-related filesystem meta-information, as well as resource forks, are not saved at all on the ext2 or ufs filesystem, but instead provided 'by template' to the client (such as with AppleVolumes.system.)
Of course that would mean no resource forks, no folder settings, no labels, etc... but who cares for them, at least on _some_ cross-platform web or media shares?
BTW, I just got over an interesting article on arstechnica on mac-filesystem issues....
(not directly related to netatalk, but.... worth browsing)
