SOLVED Timemachine share flooding Mac console with 100k's of error messages.

Not sure what this is about, but it's eating all IO on the FreeNAS server ( FreeNAS-11.0-RELEASE (a2dc21583)

Anyone with experience that has a clue what is going on?

Anything in the logs on the FreeNAS server? Logs can be found under /var/log.

Nothing out of the ordinary in /var/log/messages shows AFP login, write and logout, but not at the frequency that's on the Mac console.

If there is nothing in the FreeNAS logs, then it sounds like it may be an issue with OS X.

I've lost count how many times AFP and Time Machine have given me a headache. I stopped using it altogether when Time Machine flooded the network preventing any other device on the network from doing anything.

If you want Time Machine, just get a Time Capsule.

I'll do that, I only have the same experience as you have with AFP + Time Machine.

Shit... i didn't expect a time capsule to be so unbelievably expensive for so little...
