Discarding this for now. The megatron code is ancient and probably not working as intended anymore.

Inconclusive feedback from the community so far. Thread starts at https://sourceforge.net/p/netatalk/mailman/message/47401127/ @dgsga What do you think? There is an argument by Ralph that there is a general usecase for this...

For this ticket I want to pivot to: 1. Understanding what the concrete use cases are for this functionality. What kinds of volume pre-mount and post-dismount steps are actually executed?...

How about the take the middle road of removing `root preexec` and `root postexec` while keeping the non-root functionality?

@araujobsd This bug report is quite aged now. Would you be able to test if this still reproduces with the latest Netatalk code?

I can confirm that this still happens with the latest development code in main, testing on FreeBSD. The file system permissions take effect rather than the overrides in afp.conf.

LGTM I actually forgot that afpstats support has to be enabled at compile time, in addition to runtime. It should be one or the other I think. Makes sense to...

Is dbus-glib going away any time soon? I see no rush to move to a newer library.

Ah, that’s important context. The deprecation train keeps on going!

This was raised in the Debian bug tracker as well: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=955927
