Hello, and thanks in advance for any help.
Here's my specs:
I have two different machines I'm using to try to connect:
2018 Macbook pro running MacOS Mojave (10.14)
2017 iMac running MacOS Sierra (10.12)
Self-built Freenas system:
Motherboard: Supermicro X10SRi-F
Processor: Xeon E5-1620 v3
Memory: 1x 32gb Hynix HMA84GR7MFR4N-UH
Power supply: Seasonic G-Series 650w
Drives (Configured as RAID10): 4x 4TB HGST Ultrastar 7K4000
EDIT: Realized that I forgot FreeNAS version, which is probably relevant: Just upgraded to FreeNAS-11.1-U6 (before getting started setting up Time Machine share)
I've followed both the official documentation's guide to using the wizard: https://doc.freenas.org/11/sharing.html
As well as an unofficial guide for manual setup (that look to produce the same end result) here: http://bytesandbolts.com/how-to-configure-freenas-9-3-for-time-machine-with-disk-quotas/
With either, I get the same problematic result.
For the Macbook on Mojave 10.14: Time Machine sees the volume available, but on trying to connect I get the error shown in the attached screenshot - Time Machine can't connect to the backup disk. The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2.).
For the iMac on Sierra 10.12: It doesn't give any kind of error, it just fails to connect and goes back to the screen where you can select a backup disk, not having connected or changed anything
I also confirmed correct credentials by intentionally trying incorrect credentials - That gives the usual "wiggle" that OSX windows do when you've typed in the wrong password.
I also tried manually connecting to the AFP share, which generally works on a regular time capsule (You just end up seeing the .sparsebundle backup images when you do that, but it's not a bad way to test connectivity to a time capsule). I'm unable to do that, getting either an error that the share doesn't exist, or your user account doesn't have permissions.
Thanks again in advance for any advice!
