Draft 2.1

NEW
===
Protocol level:
AFP3.2
IPV6

afpd uses an in memory temporary DB if can't open the volume's database

Tools:


NOT NEW
=======
Bonjour
with avahi you can add an afpd.service file in
/etc/avahi/services/

drawback:
AFP is advertised even if the server is down.

Upgrading from a 2.0 version
============================
As usual backup and use new volumes.

2.1 and 2.0 filenames encoding and adouble headers are compatible thus
it's possible to upgrade and downgrade between 2.0 and 2.1, you may have 
to (must?) delete your .AppleDB folders.

Requirements

Regressions:

None known

Known Bugs:
==========
1- doesn't like symlinks/hardlinks
2- hates dangling symlinks
3- if a DB is open readonly afpd will fails here and there in strange ways.
 

Todo:
=====
- Clean up error messages, many messages should be move to the info/debug level
rather than error.
- Are all options documented in the man pages/configuration files?
- update dbd logic to others db.

Best Practices:
===============

- use a separate user group for cnid_dbd daemons
  cnid_metad -u afpd -g afpd

- All CNID databases in the same directory
AppleVolumes.default

		:DEFAUT: dbpath:/var/lib/afpd/$v

with /var/lib/afpd
drwxr-xr-x  afpd afpd 4096 2009-11-24 15:12 /var/lib/afpd

afpd or cnid_metad will create the right subdirectory ($v is replaced by the
volume name)

- Best volumes options by clients version/usage
