( Important update for Snow Leopard users: It seems that netatalk 2.0.4 does not work properly with Snow Leopard and provokes CNID errors. I installed db48 and removed db42, and I can connect to the DNS-321 via AFP without any problems, including over a reboot.Ģ) Create a startup script called /ffp/start/afpd.sh as shown here.

AFP is provided by Netatalk and Bonjour by Avahi. After reading some posts online, I realised that the solution was to activate AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) as well as Multicast DNS (Bonjour) on the NAS. For instance, deletes were slow even though transfer speeds were great. The only problem I had was that the NAS only offered SMB (via Samba) out of the box which meant that some operations were somewhat slow when initiated from my MacBook.
