similar to: Mac OS Timemachine over SMB

Hello Kevin, Mac OS by default looks for TimeMachine volumes over AFP not CIFS-SMB… Like you, I experimented with Samba a couple of years ago to try to get it to work anyway. With a few modifications on the client’s part and some configuration on the Samba server I got it to work… but recovery only worked for clients that I had configured in advance… Recovery with the Mac OS tools (Migration

Hi, I configured Samba 4.8.5 on Debian (Buster) with vfs_fruit as a TimeMachine destination and while it detects it and does the initial backup to some extent (30GB out of 200GB), TimeMachine then fails with a message about the disk identity having changed. Options are “don’t backup” and “backup anyway”. When using “backup anyway”, the backup creates a secondary sparse image and starts from

Why do you want TM to work over samba? Not sure it is supported completely by Apple although they did have developer documentation on it at one time: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/NetworkingInternetWeb/Time_Machine_SMB_Spec/ I did see this on reddit, but have not tried it personally:

TL;DR: Time Machine cannot create a *new* backup on my shared drive, but can add to an *existing* backup. I'm running macOS Catalina and my Time Machine backs up to a Debian 10 server with NetAtalk and Avahi. Since Mavericks macOS has preferred SMB, and given SMB is marginally faster I decided to switch to using SMB for the Time Machine shares. On a fresh AFP share I can start a new Time

Hi Ralph, Thanks for the reply and thank you for your work on vfs_fruit.

Hi All, at work all our clients are macs (10.10 yosemite). We are trying to move from the classical afp file server to a samba based file server. After a lot of testing, things now works more or less: a mac server acts as Kerberos+OpenLDAP and a linux debian 7 box is doing the file server with samba 4.2.0. A client which has "joined" (which is bound in mac jargon) the

Hello I am trying to integrate OS X 10.10.4 clients into existing Samba infractructure run by our IT department. We are currently using Samba 4.2.3. File share is stored on iSCSI array with ext4 filesystem which should support both ACL and XATTR. We are trying to setup vfs_fruit module to avoid possible performance problems on OS X clients. We do NOT user netatalk. Current vfs_fruit config:

Listing directories with many files (10000+) from a Windows client is nociceably slower when vfs_fruit is enabled on the samba server compared to the same setup without vfs_fruit. On my setup it's roughly 2.5 times slower. To me it looks like this is caused by the getxattr call which is only present with vfs_fruit activated and introduces an additional delay of ~ 0.00033 s per listed

(example: Configure Samba to Work Better with Mac OS X [ https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X] ). Thanks for the suggestion though. I've now been trying out the various Apple specific flags in vfs_fruit ( https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_fruit.8.html), though with no success thus far. Example settings tried in smb.conf: [global]

When you say “real symlinks on OSX” do you mean an “alias” that Finder would create? Or a Unix-type symlink using the “ ln -s file link” command in Terminal? A Finder alias is not the same as a Unix-type symlink. My NAS runs Debian Linux with version 4.3.11 of smbd; my clients are all OSX Mojave. If I create an alias using Finder on the NAS, it behaves like a normal alias in OSX UNLESS I move

Hello, I have a unix server (arch linux) with samba 4.1.14. The share has files inside which where created directly on the server. Linux and OSX (10.10.1) clients should access the share and store files. When I mount this samba share into the osx client (10.10.1), files created directly on the server with special names like `File with "quotes"` are displayed mangled (`C7XSWH~V`) on the

I am an old UNIX and Mac hand but new to samba. My ultimate aim is to use a samba share with Time Machine. I have built an up to date version of samba (4.9.2) which has the necessary support for Time Machine and installed it on my linux system (ubuntu 18.04), and I have it sharing a volume which I can mount from my Mac. A good start ;) The problem is that I get permission errors whenever I try

Hi Ralph, Thanks, it works as expected with 4.2.0rc2! I simply followed the manual and added this to the share's config: vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr fruit:resource = file fruit:metadata = netatalk fruit:locking = netatalk fruit:encoding = native Thanks for your help.

I have a share with approximately 5000 folders in the base directory. The performance on an OS X client is somewhat less than exciting. I compiled the latest Samba 4.3 tarball and enabled fruit per the modules man page, however directory listing performance still takes a few seconds. I've cranked the fruit debug level up to 10 and can see that it is getting used ("fruit_stat called for
