Still having intermittent Time Machine Disk visibility issues, usually restarting SMB allows the shares to be see in TM +add_disk

Rob Granger · Nov 12, 2023

Is there any way to query the Truenas TM shares and see if they are showing up as TM shares.
They always show up as SMB shares and I can connect to them, but my TM sometimes just doesn't see the share. Sometimes restarting SMB helps, sometimes just editing a TM share and saving it causes the disks to appear in the +add disk under TM, sometimes not :( Which is the fustrating part.

I know there were a few others that had this issue years ago, my wee troubles just started again recently. I upgraded to 13.U5 from 13.U3 to try and see if that improved things. Nope.

SCALE any more reliable with TM?
Thanks,
Sorry for the ramble, I am stuck.

Thanks for the tip!! Altered the original.

I am suspecting that it was having some shares mounted as both SMB and NFS. I did this so that I could browse backups as SMB shares from my mac or windows. I have disabled the two shares under Windows Shares and the -adisk._tcp started announcing or responding.
will update later with whether this is the cause.

Rob Granger · Nov 14, 2023

NOPE : still an issue. Truenas stops broadcasting / responding to TimeMachine requests for resources.
mDNS Tool will show it responding after a start stop of the service and then it stops. May just put it in an endless cron job.

You are not using [CODE][/CODE], it's still difficult to read.

Rob Granger · Nov 14, 2023

Well, smoke! Thanks for being patient with me. Sorry, I have been a terminal guy and caveman for 37 years, and all this fancy BBEdit stuff scares and confuses me. I think that I have it now, and won't make that mistake again.
Rob
Now off to figure out that hidden thing for my signature.

It looks like you are running 13-U3.1?
Are you using the SMB shares type (config preset) time machine?
