Hi!<br />
<br />
We've recently upgraded a few Mac workstations from <b>Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8)</b> to<b> Yosemite (10.10.2) </b>to accommodate using <b>Adobe Creative Cloud 2014</b>. &nbsp;The server that the operators work from is running <b>Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8)</b>. &nbsp;The <b>Yosemite</b> users complain that directory updates take forever when the server volume is mounted via <b>AFP</b>. &nbsp;When the volume is mounted via <b>SMB</b>, directory updates are instantaneous but when they write files from the <b>Adobe apps</b> it creates additional files with &quot;<b>:AFP_AfpInfo</b>&quot; appended to the filename. &nbsp;Navigating through these files to find the actual work file is cumbersome. &nbsp;Deleting these additional files does not impact the actual working file in anyway.<br />
<br />
Is there a way I can either speed up Finder when the volume is mounted AFP? &nbsp;Or, is there a way I can prevent the creation of these extra alternative stream files?<br />
<br />
Users running <b>Snow Leopard</b> have no problems.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hi!

We've recently upgraded a few Mac workstations from Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite (10.10.2) to accommodate using Adobe Creative Cloud 2014.  The server that the operators work from is running Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8).  The Yosemite users complain that directory updates take forever when the server volume is mounted via AFP.  When the volume is mounted via SMB, directory updates are instantaneous but when they write files from the Adobe apps it creates additional files with ":AFP_AfpInfo" appended to the filename.  Navigating through these files to find the actual work file is cumbersome.  Deleting these additional files does not impact the actual working file in anyway.

Is there a way I can either speed up Finder when the volume is mounted AFP?  Or, is there a way I can prevent the creation of these extra alternative stream files?

Users running Snow Leopard have no problems.

Thanks!

How to prevent creation of AFP_AfpInfo files on SMB Share

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
