When I set the
vol size limit
in /etc/netatalk/afp.conf
, Time Machine initially reports the correct amount of available, but fails on backup and reports that 0 KB are available. I am wondering if this might be because I have a share pointing to /data
and another (Time Machine) share pointing to /data/mbp_time_machine
. The [netatalk docs](https://netatalk.sourceforge.io/3.0/htmldocs/afp.conf.5.html) specify that "you MUST NOT use this volume to store other content when using this option", but I do not know if they are referring to the AFP volume or the actual logical volume on the host.
Below is my afp.conf
:
;
; Netatalk 3.x configuration file
;
[Global]
; Global server settings
hostname=redacted_afp
[Homes]
basedir regex = /home
[redacted_afp]
path = /data
[carson Time Machine]
path = /data/mbp_time_machine
time machine = yes
vol size limit=1000
