NAME¶
afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by
afpd(8) to specify UUID for Time
Machine volume
DESCRIPTION¶
/etc/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by
afpd to
specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration lines are
composed like:
"volume name" uuid-string
The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain
spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string
representation of a UUID.
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines
prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
Note
This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of
Time Machine volume.
The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into
afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "tm" option in AppleVolumes
file.
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server.
EXAMPLES¶
Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
