[Samba] HFS filesystem on linux + samba -> Mac

[Mark Adams]

My recommendation to you would be to migrate the files off the hfs  
disk on to a standard Linux partition then share this to the macs  
using netatalk.

As far as I know there is no way samba can provide the extended attrib  
and resource forks that the macs require to see your files.


......

You could also manually give all your files extensions so that the  
macs can open them via samba, this eliminates the need for resource  
forks

Mark.
