Unattended copying from a netatalk share

Hi everyone,

I’m currently migrating 3 Linux file servers to a new Mac OS X Server. The Linux servers use netatalk to provide AFP shares. I now need to copy all data (many TB) to the Mac server. If I try to copy everything at once using Finder it will often stop with an error message when a file cannot be copied without letting me continue with the next file. I then need to see where exactly it left off and manually continue from there until the next error message. This would take ages so I wanted to find a better way to do this.

I tried using scp using both the shell and Transmit from panic. They work fine, but I cannot go that route since there are some older files (QuarkXPress, etc.) on the shares which would get stripped off their Resource Forks when copied that way.

Does anyone know of a way to just copy everything without needing user interaction? The method should inhibit a log to see what could not be copied for later inspection.

Thanks a lot!
