similar to: vfs fruit requires filesystem with extended attributes support?

Is it possible to backup Mac OS devices through a Samba share on Samba 4.4.6 on Fedora 24 with Time Machine? I am able to successfully advertise the share through Avahi, connect to it in Finder, and read/write files. I am also able to see the share as a destination in Time Machine, but selecting it shows an error that "The selected network backup disk does not support the required

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

On your Samba server, check build options: #: smbd -b - look for vfs_catia, vfs_fruit, vfs_streams_xattr modules. If you have the vfs_ modules, then take a look at this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X>

(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]

Hi I apt installed Samba Version 4.9.5-Debian (latest in their repos) on a fresh-built Raspbian Buster Lite release 2020-02-05. I put together the configuration outlined below by using the docs at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X and https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_fruit.8.html. The underlying usb hard drive is an ext4 partition

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

When I created the User Documentation page "Configure Samba to Work Better with Mac OS X?, my intent was to help others in the same situation I am: I have a WD MyCloud (Gen1) running an old version of samba (4.3.11) with no expectation that the firmware would be upgraded for the latest & greatest samba. The device is still usable, but was not optimized for Macs, so I ssh?d into the

A couple of questions about the above: 1. In their respective man pages, both refer to "NTFS alternate data streams?, however they are not limited to just NTFS ADS are they? Other file systems may also use ADS (such as Mac OS?s various fs) 2. What is the essential differences and similarities between the two? From the man pages it appears that: - xattr has default prefix (which can be

Louis - have you run testparm -s on your server? You don?t show it in your smb.conf, but I assume you have vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr there as well as in your [data] share. If you don?t, you should since you have various fruit: parameters in the [global]. The SMB conversation in your Wireshark pcap would be easier to read if you filter on ?smb2? :-) Todd

Hi, I?m currently setting up a samba Server on a Raspberry PI 4 with an external 8TB HDD. Since this is rather low end hardware, I?m trying to figure out which performance optimizations are still relevant today, since a lot has chanced in the past years and quite a few options are now set by default. The default values seem to work well for Windows but I?m having lots of issues with macOS.

Hi all, I'm a user of samba. Because we still use samba version 4.1.13 but now we want to use final cut pro through cifs. We have found that need to set the conf "catia fruit streams_xattr" and is there any idea to patch code like fruit modules on samba version 4.1.13 ? I also want to know why the error "Unsupported volume type" will come out when import fcpx on mac. Thank

hello all. I want to use my OpenBSD server for time machine via samba. Reading documentation, I noticed, that vfs module fruit requires streams_xattr for work, and in documentation for streams_xattr i see that the file system of the share must support extended attributes. And OpenBSD FFS does NOT support extended attributes. Does this mean I cannot use frut module too?

thanks!

Hello all, Anyone have experience with using fruit:resource=stream on a ZFS filesystem? fruit:resource=stream is said to be experimental in man page, so I imagine there aren't many people using / testing it. Thanks! Chad.

When I tried fruit:resource=xattr appledouble files ._ were created. (I know I'm hung up on aesthetics.) Chad.

Hi Mike and all, I still see ._ files with fruit:resource=xattr and not with fruit:resource=stream. Try extracting the attached zip file using a macintosh on the samba share. (Sounds dangerous, right?!) With fruit:resource=xattr # ls -al total 537 drwxrwx---+ 2 cwseys cwseys 9 Feb 17 09:57 . drwxrwx---+ 3 cwseys cwseys 5 Feb 17 09:57 .. -rwxrwxr--+ 1 cwseys cwseys 20120
