SOLVED AFP Home Share naming scheme

[mikemand]

I have tried several different searches (both here on the forums and on Google) about changing how the Home Share is named. Right now, my home shares are all

Code:

<username>'s home

. Is there some way I can change them to be just <username>?

I have a FreeNAS Mini running FreeNAS 11.2-BETA3. My Dataset is setup like so:

And my AFP Share:

AFP is a deprecated protocol. It's still there to allow FreeNAS to act as a Time Machine target. It's suggested to use SMB instead as the latest versions of MacOS support SMB2 and higher.

Hi @m0nkey_,

Thank you for the information! I didn't know that, and the docs don't say it (at least as far as I could find).

Do you know if I am able to change the format of my Dataset without data loss? It's currently set to Mac, but I should change it to Unix for better SMB compatibility, correct?

Either way, I will change the format of all of my shares to SMB, instead of AFP. Thank you!
