DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hi Fonz,

Thank you for all of your hard work on ffp.  It's greatly appreciated.

I currently have netatalk 2.1.1 running on my various DNS devices at home.

Recently, I needed to recover a file, so I had to "Enter Time Machine" to see my historical files.  Time Machine on the respective mac had some major latency issues trying to browse the historical backups (magnitude of ~15 seconds to navigate to each backup, and then several seconds to browse into the directory structure of the respective backup).  After locating the old file, I was able to recover it, but I feel it took way too long.  Entering Time Machine was a snappy process when I ran netatalk 2.0.5.

So, with this in mind, I rebooted the specific DNS in question and retried "Entering Time Machine."  This second time around, it was much snappier, just like netatalk 2.0.5.  I am not running any other major processes on the DNS (not running iTunes server, no bit torrent, etc.), so I don't think it was another process consuming CPU cycles.

I know this may be a long shot, but is it possible that the "serious error in networking IO code" fixed in netatalk 2.1.3 (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.1/Rel … 2.1.3.html) will solve this problem?  In other words, since it had been weeks since the last reboot of the DNS, is it possible that this bug in netatalk pre-2.1.3 caused Time Machine connection issues that exposed a perceived slow down when browsing my historical files?

I don't exactly know where to look to find any Time Machine or afpd log files to confirm, so it's just a suspicion at this point.  Regardless, though, would you be open to upgrading netatalk to 2.1.3 anyway?

Cheers,
