Oh, how I loathe those resource forks. I've been experimenting with these resource forks a lot lately (why? a long, boring, and pitiful tale), and I'm happy to report that the Mac actually _does_ seem to preserve the resource forks over NFS. If I copy a file called "file" with a resource fork over NFS to the file server it also copies over a file called "._file" which seems to contain all that nice metadata. Still, I don't trust it.
