Usually my hackintosh can't AFP TimeMachine share

[Bruno Salvador]

Hello Again.

Today the discussion is about the AFP sharing for TimeMachine usage.
I have created a separate sharing only for timemachine pourpose.
The setup is like this:

Freenas version: 9.2.1.5

user: bruno (member of TimeMachine)
group: @TimeMachine

Here is my problem:

When I create or stop and start the AFP service, my Hackintosh find the TimeMachine share and works ok.
But for the recurrent timemachine backups, usually the computer cannot login. If you try do force a backup like twice, it then finds and go on with the backup.

This also happen with my genuine MacBook.

In the log file, I cannot see the error on afp, because it seems that the computer when tries to connect, it usually do not reach the freenas (otherwise it should appear the loggins msg rigth?).

have anybody experienced something about that?

Did you ever figure this out?

A little different here, using both 9.2.1.5 and 9.2.1.6 RC I've found in testing that logins happen without error and as suspected. I however cannot create backups because the sparsebundle cannot be created for some reason which I have a thread opened and fighting at the moment. Aside from file creation not taking place, all else appears fine and I see the hourly backups kick off with afp login/logout but error creating sparsebundle.

No, still the same problem.
I dont know what else to do.

Have you tried using CIFS instead of AFP?
