Hello,
I have searched the forums here, and I have seen a few posts about the new Mac OSX 10.7 and 10.8 breaking the AFP protocol on many devices, including the latest builds of FreeNAS.
What I was wondering was, can a mod consolidate the threads, and make ONE sticky for this issue/incident/problem?
I have yet to get it working, but I plan to try again this weekend. I have read many sites about making changes on the MAC to allow/show non-standard AFP devices to be used in time machine, as well as making changes to the text files for Time Machine config files. So far, no joy. I have a dated 2008 MBP, as well as a older Mac Pro. None of these work, even if I can see the device in Finder(on the network). I also tried making a local .sparsebundle file, then copying it to the share on the device, and try it that way. NaDa!
If I am asking too much, then I don't mind if a mod deletes my post. But I feel like I am not alone, and while a few have lucked out, the solution is not clear and concise for all. I like FreeNAS and would love to see an official, consolidate, graphical solution (I mean screen shots) that all could use to get through this.
Thanks for looking,
David
