Per-share custom AFP settings

[kjp4756]

I'm currently checking out 9.3-beta in vmware. It's looking pretty good. Can't wait until final release.

On my 9.2.1.8 home server I am using AFP only for time machine backups. I like to use the 'vol size limit' setting for the time machine share. On 9.2.1.8 I had to hack that in to the generate_afp_conf script.

According to https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/1911 Jordan says "We have global option setting capability for AFP now and, as noted, per-share options can also be specified." How do you actually do this in 9.3? Or is this something that isn't quite implemented yet? I see how to add global options in AFP settings.

Thanks

The global settings are on the AFP settings page and the same is true for the AFP shares.

All I see on the AFP settings page is "Global auxiliary parameters". I don't see anything for per-share. There is nothing about per-share settings on the share settings advanced page either.

Or, do I simply add per-share settings under global aux paramters?

Like this:

[Share name]
vol size limit = 500000

EDIT: Never mind, that didn't work. It put it under global.

[Global]
uam list = uams_dhx.so uams_dhx2.so
max connections = 50
mimic model = RackMac
vol dbnest = yes
[storage]
vol size limit = 5000

[storage]
path = /mnt/storage
time machine = yes
cnid dev = no
file perm = 644
directory perm = 755
umask = 000
veto files = .windows/.mac/

I was wrong - there's nothing that helps per-share folks with that change. Sorry. I've re-opened the bug with suitable comments.

Bah.. I actually had written that I looked and it was gone, but somehow dropped the ball and didn't submit the reply. Glad we got that sorted out though. :)

It is entirely possible that I have missed something, but if your Time Machine share is a dataset with a quota OS X 10.8 (the only version I've tested) then Time Machine recognises that quota. Which seems to satisfactorily to solve the problem. BICBW

Looks like the quota method will work with os x 10.10. I didn't think zfs quotas worked that way. I thought it would show the entire available pool space and then give a disk full message once the quota was reached. It turns out if I set the quota to say 5GB then finder in mac shows only 5GB available. Perfect. Thanks!

Good to know it still works in 10.10. May get there soon!

I can confirm that Time Machine correctly sees the quota.
