- Hmmm... the story gets more curious. I just realized that in addition
- the the missing folder's reappearing for one session after the file
- count in its parent directory is changed, the missing folder also
- reappears on restart of the Macintosh client! (again, only for one
- session, then it's gone again.) So it seems that the "memory" effect
- is not related to AUFS (which I thought was odd anyway, since AUFS
- doesn't have any memory from session to session, and the effect occured
- even when no files were modified) but the Finder (v7.0.1). The question
- is, is it a bug in the Finder, or some interaction problem, or a bug
- in AUFS? It seems to me that except for the issues metioned in the
- "design.notes" document with AUFS, AUFS implements AFP 2.0 quite well.
- So maybe the System 7 Finder doesn't handle pre-3.0 AFP correctly?
