Thanks for reporting this issue.

Did you set the option "ea"?

Comments in AppleVolumes.default seem to indicate that by default native 
filesystem handling is tried first, with fallback to AppleDouble 
directories.  My guess is that filesystem handling also didn't work with 
older kernel, but failed more gracefully than with the newer kernel.

If you have .AppleDouble dirs allower then I guess that confirms my 
theory - then try explicitly set ea:ad.

Or, if you don't really need to preserve the legacy Mac part of files 
(you probably don't if you serve same data also with Samba) then try set 
it to ea:none (which might also speed things up a bit.


> Is this problem fixed in netatalk 2.2.5?

Not sure.  Please do try, and report back your findings to this 
bugreport: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/netatalk/


> Why is there no stable netatalk package?

Because of licensing issues (spotted long time ago without solving, but 
only at a recent reorganisation of the package noticed by ftpmasters and 
- correctly - flagged as reason for removal from Debian until resolved): 
https://bugs.debian.org/751121

I don't know what OSMC is, but regardless I suspect that question is 
better asked to the samba maintainers - or even better: upstream among 
the samba developers.
