Hello!
I got a problem with afp-share:
In recovery mode it can't be found by Timemachine.
I tried this on MBP early 11 with Lion recovery and it hangs on searching share.
Then I had tried same on MBA mid 2012 with El Capitan recovery and it wrote me 'not found' instantly.
Same i got on MBP later, with EL Capitan.
I can't confirm it's a bug of freenas, but I can't find any other point of failure.
I can reproduce this 10/10.
OFC, TM working from OS, afp-share configured with Timemachine flag and FreeNAS is latest-stable.
Any steps to diagnostic or drop this note?

Were you able to figure this out?
What are you talking about?
I'm not native speaker, so i got only one translation: "how did i fix it".
So, i reinstalled the OS and restored my backups from the first install questions, not from the recovery. It works.

You are right. Language difference makes it difficult to be clear. Can you make this clearer please? Did the OSX install program see the Time Machine backup on FreeNAS properly? Many thanks!

I can't understand what do you mean then saying "Installer".
Recovery (link) can't find afp-share. BUT you can ignore this issue and just install the OS from flash-drive or the Recovery, coz...
You can restore your data after install, then the OS asks you about language and other, before the OS config will be done.

Thanks, I understand now. I have only tried partial Time Machine restores, so this is very useful to know.

… Recovery (link) can't find afp-share. …

I can not reproduce that problem.

Enviroment

RM Expert 3030 computer with:
  • 4 GB memory
  • FreeBSD freenas.local 9.2-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p9 #0 r262572+cc525fe: Thu Jul 3 14:22:45 PDT 2014 root@build3.ixsystems.com:/fusion/jenkins/9.2.1.6-RELEASE/os-base/amd64/fusion/jenkins/9.2.1.6-RELEASE/FreeBSD/src/sys/FREENAS.amd64 amd64
  • ZFS for the sparse bundle disk image that stores the HFS Plus file system for Time Machine
  • a wired connection to a nearby router.
Early 2009 MacBookPro5,2 with:
  • OS X 10.9.5
  • encrypted Time Machine backups to FreeNAS.

Test results

At a MacBookPro8,2 with neither OS X nor Recovery OS:
  1. I used OS X Internet Recovery (10.7.5, build 11G63) with a wireless connection to the router
  2. I refrained from reinstalling the operating system
  3. I used Time Machine in Recovery OS to browse the list of eligible backups on the FreeNAS server
  4. I restored from the most recent backup of the MacBookPro5,2.
