AFP - LaCie Network Space 2 - Not Working on OSX Lion 10.7

Here is a special webpage from LaCie dedicated to issues experienced with Lion:

LaCie Software Compatibility with Mac® OS X Lion

We still need to be patient...

Did not work for me - I did the first two commands on that KB - rebooted - then removed DHCAST - checked that it was gone and still error message when Time Machine atttempts to mount the authenticated volume.

from the article I understand that the 3rd command actually enables this:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"

Have you executed this?

Yes exactly that. Though it did not "take" te first time so I did it again an confirmed and rebooted.

Hm. Seems a firmware update from LaCie is the only way out of this. Anyone have a confirmed release date yet? I will ask LaCie again

Same problem here. Osx Lion and Network Space 2 with latest firmware (1.2.93). In version history, LaCie says they fixed the problem with Time Machine... But it still doesn't work.

Hope to have it be fixed soon!

Marcelleke,

Would it be possible to have the beta file?

Thx

As of March i did report this problem, even as i post here they keep sending me links of non working solutions.

I even mention to sent me the beta... 1.2.94... unbelievable...

This issue also affects file share from Macs running Snow Leopard. If you have a Mac running Snow Leopard with file sharing turned on, you can't access the shared files from Lion.

It's great that Apple wanted to improve security in Lion, but it would have been nice if they'd released an update to Snow Leopard so that it continued to work.

Apple not including backwards compatibility is beyond me. Re-enableling DHCAST128 hasn't fixed anything. This is pretty bad for some of us who have large deployments. I guess we wont be upgrading any of our labs or studios with Lion as it seems to breaks all sorts of things using AFP, on top of all the porblems were are suffering with binding to a directory.

They had plenty of notice.

No doubt they did have plenty of notice - yet it appears that every manufacturer was taken unaware by this issue.

For some reason I'm reminded of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy when Arthur Dent's house is being knocked down to make way for a bypass. He also had plenty of notice, with the plans for the bypass being on display in a locked filing cabinet in a disused basement lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard". Maybe the sign should have said "Beware of the Lion"!

Some did have updates either already distributed or ready to go.
