Re: [Leo] Use Time Machine on an NFS mounted disk
Not at all. Netatalk by default shares the user folders of the server. My user folders are stored on a separate 500GB ext2 formatted drive. I made my mom an account and setup Linux Quota support to limit it to 10GB (she only has pictures and word documents). When she logs into my server with her username and password, it mounts the AFP share with 9.8GB free just as it would if you mounted it from a Mac. Permissions, long file names, etc are all supported. The ext2/3 -to- AFP translation is seamless.
netatalk does have some quirks, so if samba is working well, just stick with that. |
