Aug 13, 2014 3:32 AM in response to stevebowby léonie,An Aperture library or an iPhoto library needs to be on a locally connected drive. Storing the library on a network volume is not supported by the application. On a network volume you are risking data loss and library corruption. See this document for apple's requirements:
Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

Thanks for the link léonie. However, it makes no difference to the problem if I store the library on a local volume and instead reference the masters on a net share - originals are still not deleted. There is no mention in that article that this configuration is not supported by Apple, so I can only see this as a bug in Aperture until Apple confirm they don't support referenced originals on a net share either.
FWIW, I have been storing my iTunes library on a RAID5 AFS net share for around the last 5 years, also iPhoto and in the last 18 months, Aperture. I have not had a single issue with their libraries on the NAS, other than Aperture not deleting originals when emptying its trash. While performance over 1000BaseT ethernet obviously won't compare with an internal SATA drive, I find performance is still more than adequate for daily work.

Aug 14, 2014 6:11 AM in response to stevebowby Frank Caggiano,NAS volumes do not normally support a two stage delete. That is on a locally mounted volume when a file is deleted it is moved to the .Trash folder on that volume and the file appears to be in the users Trash folder on the root volume. When the user empties the trash the file in the Trash folder on the volume is actually deleted.
Network volumes usually do not do this, when you delete a file on a NAS volume it is deleted immediately. Aperture is not designed to work with a single stage delete.
