Re: introducing A2SERVER again, this time with Pi

> I can confirm A2SERVER PI works well with my Cayman GatorBox, if, as you suggested, disable appletalk routing on the PI. How do I make this change permanent rather than having to do it after each restart if the PI?

Hey there. Thanks for the report. It should be permanent; it shouldn't need doing again if you restart the Pi, because the /usr/local/etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf configuration file is changed, and should stay changed (unless you re-image the SD card or something). If you're seeing otherwise, email me and I'll try to figure it out.

Generally speaking, it's mostly covered at netatalk.sourceforge.net in their docs for version 2.2. All of the relevant configuration files are in /usr/local/etc/netatalk, and the file you probably want to edit is AppleVolumes.default. You can just add additional lines near the bottom (I'd recommend before the A2FILES and GSFILES entries) to serve Linux folders as AppleShare volumes. For vintage Macs, use similar options as for the GSFILES volume.
