History

2016-Jan-20 set up as Time Machine

Hardware

Hardware is a MiniITX server that used to be Bellman

The two Seagate Green 2TB drives are now LVM'ed into a stripe because I need space more than reliability for Time Machine.

Changing over from mirror to stripe

It ended up on /dev/md126 (he shrugs).

Built deb packages for netatalk from git on bellman and install packages here.

apt-get install mysql-common libcrack2 libmysqlclient18 avahi-daemon
dpkg --install libatalk16_3.1.7-1_amd64.deb netatalk_3.1.7-1_amd64.deb

emacs /etc/netatalk/afp.conf

systemctl enable avahi-daemon
systemctl enable netatalk
systemctl start avahi-daemon
systemctl start netatalk

On the MAC

You have to allow TimeMachine to write to an "unsupported volume" with this command

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
