Why can't I view files in my Time Machine share?

[theflyiingdutchman]

I've set up a dataset which is shared witth SMB with the Time Machine box checked. I can backup my Mac, but for some reason I can't view the files on the share. I just get a picture of a folder. What am I doing wrong?

If it helps, I am also seeing errors when I try to list /Volumes. Screenshot attached.

Are you using the same credentials for the time machine backup as you are for accessing the share?

 

[theflyiingdutchman]

@anodos Yep

 

[theflyiingdutchman]

also occurs when I do not have time machine configured yet. Wondering if I'm misunderstanding something with the relationship between the file system and the samba share..

Get rid of the spaces in your share definition and the dataset.

Thanks for the suggestions. Tried them, but still broken. When I connect as a guest I get the same view, so it doesn't seem like a permissions thing(?). Not sure what else it could be.

Please provide the output of testparm -s and zfs list.

You probably have a path suffix still applied (%U) from when you had this with the special preset. It's an advanced SMB share option.
