AFP Out Of Date In OS X Lion
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ with RAIDiator 4.1.7 [1.00a043] installed. Using the developer preview of OS X Lion, I get this message when trying to connect. "The version of the server you are trying to c...
I think Apple would be encouraging the move to using the newer versions of AFP. It's easier not to support outdated versions of AFP.
I don't know if newer versions of Netatalk are compatible with Mac OS X Lion or not. I'm not part of the Apple developer program so I can't test Mac OS X Lion.
Sparc ReadyNAS (e.g. Duo, NV, NV+) use firmware that has evolved from the original Sparc firmware that shipped on the first Sparc units released over 6 years ago. It has become necessary to backport things such as Netatalk. There is also the CPU to consider, Sparc ReadyNAS use a slow CPU, so the CPU needs of a new version of Netatalk would also need to be considered (I don't know if they've increased or not, but NetGear would find out when they do testing). Newer ReadyNAS (e.g. NVX, Ultra, Pro) use Intel processors and different firmware. These have much faster CPUs and are on the x86 platform. These would be far less likely to have issues with a Netatalk backport and could see a newer version of Netatalk earlier.
If experiences with Snow Leopard are anything to go by, it's best not to be an early adopter of a new Mac OS X major update as it may break functionality on the ReadyNAS. A firmware update with a newer version of Netatalk should help resolve issues and restore broken functionality. Minor OS updates from Apple can also help.
