Comment on Build a Netatalk Time Capsule for OSX Lion 10.7 using Debian 6.0 Squeeze by Magnus Brange

When Im trying to connect to my AFP service I get a message which says that the serverversion is unsupported. This happens both when I browse the share in Finder and when I’m trying to connect via CMD+K.

Someone know whats wrong?

Thanks for your efforts here! I’ve used it to setup my home server for Time Machine backups to avoid paying for a Time Machine much like you! My stuff is all managed with Chef these days. Here’s the cookbook I wrote to handle the things you describe in your post.

Thanks for a great guide, seems to be working well. Excerpt for me, I get this error every time I try to install your package:

sudo dpkg -i netatalk_2.2.1-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package netatalk.
(Reading database … 32698 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking netatalk (from netatalk_2.2.1-1_i386.deb) …

I have googled around the entire world and cant seem to get any of the guides working, du you know what might be the problem?

Are you using a sparsebundle or native ext3/4?

Something like:

hdiutil resize -size 500g MyFile.sparsebundle

Here’s a good tutorial for making a secure backup with a size limit:

Any reason why you’d have to do that last step:

joe@osx:$ defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

I was running FreeNAS 8.0.4 (a FreeBSD based NAS server) and the TIme Machine share shows up in the Time Machine Preferences under “Select Disk…”?

Oops, I guess I built those on my 64bit system thinking it’d cross compile. I dusted off my 32bit build image and rebuilt them for you if you want to download the updated packages (-3′s) and try again. Thanks for letting me know.
