Hi Ralph,

Yes, I can see the flag persist even if I close and reopen the SMB share. But if I set the flag on SMB and read it over AFP, it isn’t there.

The file has either user.org.netatalk.Metadata or user.DOSATTRIB attribute depending from which side the copy is done, but I can’t see any change in either if I set the file as locked in the Finder.

We are moving exclusively to Samba and would like to carry the locked files over, but looks like we might just have to start over.
