samba - May 2016 - Migration to vfs_fruit with existing AppleDouble files?

If the code to convert FinderInfo is in a version later than 4.3.6 then I
can request FreeNAS update their version.

Can you let me know?

Thanks!

ad_convert() in vfs_fruit.c does the job. Looks like it should work.

There's also a test for the conversion in make tes, unfortunately it
doesn't check the result of converting FinderInfo.

Cheerio!

Okay so that's egg on my face, I was testing as a read only user on my test
server and since vfs_fruit only has the same access as the user running
samba, it wasn't able to copy the finderinfo from the old ._ file into a
file extattr.

Once I ran it in read/write it adapted the file as expected.

Sorry for wasting your time and thanks again for all of your help.
