Interesting.
That is really interesting. I recognised with El Capitan that it already defaults to SMB instead of AFP when you don't give a scheme.
- duskwuff 10y agoAFP depends on having persistent, globally addressable IDs for files (CNIDs). Perhaps this is no longer available under APFS? While I imagine this might be retrofittable (netatalk manages it, after all), I can't blame Apple for wanting to ditch AFP. It's an ancient protocol at this point, and I'm frankly just amazed it still works at all.

- ghettoimp 10y agoCan you provide some details about what's wrong with it? (Not a security person, no idea how to evaluate such a claim)
