AFP copy error NV+ w/ 4.1.9 + OS X 10.7.4 - roll back?

Hi.
I have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.7.4, it connects to a NV+ over AFP running 4.1.9 over gigabit ethernet and the two boxes live around 1m apart, connecting over a single gigabit switch.

Since I've updated to 4.1.9 a few days since, I've been unable to copy certain files to my NV+. The files are downloaded files and typically archives (DMG etc) or installers. Some files copy fine to the NV+, some don't. When the file or files don't copy over, I get this messages from Finder:

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).


...which after many years of using a Mac is a generic error implying there was some kind of communication breakdown between source and destination. I'm about to head out for a few hours, but is there anything I can provide in addition to the above to help me figure this out?

Realistically, I don't have hours to spend troubleshooting this as I'm overdue on client work already - so my rather more abrupt question is: can I roll back to 4.1.8 from 4.1.9?

Thank you in advance.
Pete

  • One of my AFP shares would not even mount! I spent hours resetting permissions on the share and rebooting etc..
    The only thing that worked for me was a roll back to 4.1.8: http://www.readynas.com/?cat=8

    I have never had a problem upgrading the NAS over the last 5 years but 4.1.9 seem very broken to me!
  • Thanks, jebr. Good to hear you were able to roll back safely. This is just the info I needed, I appreciate it.
  • Posted this in another thread, but cross posting in case it will help someone else . . . .

    After upgrading to 4.1.9 I had no problem with any shares that were both CIFS and AFP previous to the upgrade, but the one share I had that was AFP only was not visible. Adding CIFS to it made it visible in SMB sharing, but unmountable due to a permissions error on either Windows or Mac, any recent version. I tried many things to fix it with no success, until finally I did the following: default CIFS: read/write, guest access on and read/write. AFP same. Also, on advanced tab choose a primary user and give ownership/read/write, choose a group with all users in it, and give read/write, and most importantly, give read/write to "everyone". After that it showed up and I slowly clawed share permissions back to what they were originally, and the share was now visible under original permissions. I tried various combinations of the above, but the only thing that made it visible was doing ALL of it. As I said, after that I could restrict permissions to what they were before, but until I opened it up completely, no go.
