similar to: issues with Time Machine - did macOS change how they handle things?

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 all, I’m trying to use samba 4.5.8 as a file server for my Macs (all 10.12.4 now), as a replacement for netatalk. I did setup smb.conf as suggested # # Options for macOS # http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Netatalk_3.1.11_SRPM_for_Fedora_and_CentOS <http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Netatalk_3.1.11_SRPM_for_Fedora_and_CentOS> # ea support = yes vfs

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

Hai Daniel, Yes yes.. As you can see in my change log.

since "ea = samba" was only added to very recent netatalk versions and so don't apply to files with a history of many years what is the way to go get rid of netatalk these days? is there still no tool to read/write the existing netatalk appladouble extended attributes which are *not* compatible with samba and write them back in the new format? afp.conf: appledouble = ea ea = samba

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

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

Dear all; I?m running smbd 4.9.5-Debian and I?m struggling to get Time Machine support to work. The server is running Debian Buster, and the client is macOS High Sierra. I can mount the share just fine on its own, but as soon as I tell Time Machine to ?Back Up Now?, it says ?Preparing Backup,? ?Looking for Backup Disk,? and then nothing. The little red exclamation mark tells me that "The

Is it b/c mac's don't understand the Linux (posix?) extended acl? I suppose Samba cannot tell when the client is changing the permissions as a misunderstanding versus purposefully? E.g. is the pattern of requests

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

Hi, i'm running Samba 4.2.1 compiled from source on an Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Server. ACL/XATTR is active and working. I tried to activate the vfs_fruite module and added the sample code: vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr fruit:resource = file fruit:metadata = netatalk fruit:locking = netatalk fruit:encoding = native to the share. In addition i tried the following share definition: vfs

I worked with Netatalk for years and want to switch to Samba now. Currently i use Ubuntu 20.04. and Debian 9 before, i had no issues with netatalk at all. As soon as i try to add a color tag (e.g. yellow) with Mac OS 10.15.5, the tag appears shortly but hides one second later. The file system is ZFS with no special options configured. I tried the Ubuntu package but also the builds from source

I have configured samba as follow: [global] workgroup = GOYMAN netbios name = MATRIX security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /var/db/samba4/private/passdb.ntdb vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr fruit:resource = xattr fruit:metadata = netatalk fruit:locking = netatalk fruit:encoding = private [projects] path = /data/projects write list = kuon, ino force create mode = 0770
