Resource Fork handling test script/method .. ?
Posted by: tdiaz on 2018-03-17 16:44:44
Any recommendations on a method for determining if resource forks are handled properly, reliably, by whatever the storage medium is selected? ... 

IOW, I want to check to see if a network share is handling it properly, both with respect to a particular Mac/OS and others. 

I'm trying to make use of more current Samba / Netatalk options for dealing with .AppleDouble files.

I've been using a Stuffit file with various Mac utilities from the System 7 era, unpacking,looking for .com.apple.ResourceFork in the extended attributes, file size comparing, etc. but it still feels like nothing but a crapshoot at best.
