iPhoto '11 TROUBLE
My problems started when I launched iPhoto '11 for the first time. I received the warning "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported." I ha...

My iPhoto Lib is 12 GB big and resides on an AFP volume. It's not ta snappy, but perfectly usable. More importantly this makes up a different issue than what the OP describes.

No it's not the same. CIFS gave him "not supported" because probably iPhoto 11 indeed checks if the Lib resided on a smb-vfs volume. He had an entirely different error with AFP.

Afair we've got a large customer using Aperture across AFP with huge asset stores just fine. So at least it depends. As always, network packet and syscall traces tell the truth.

But if you have someway we can do this, please let us know.
As said, my iPhoto 11 Lib is usable just fine over AFP, iTunes too.
