I have both Samba and NetATalk installed and running on my home-server.

Timemachine baclkups are working well using samba-3.16, but fail with
samba-3.19 (corrupting the backup!).

I have used netatalk for timemachine backups, do not remember why I
went back to using samba. Maybe I should try using netatalk again,
since then I could update samba to 3.19 for other file systems.

BTW: vscode on the MacBook does not work well on directories
exported using netatalk. Every "file safe" operation warns that the
target file had been modified and asks for confirmation to overwrite
it.

I have not tried to diagnose this issue, since it works well when
using samba to access these directories.
