I have an OpenIndiana (ie Solaris) based server running Netatalk 2.2.x =
where x is the latest OI distribution as of a month ago.
(pkg list
service/network/netatalk (sfe) 2.2.3-0.151.1.5 =
i--
)
It has a bunch of ZFS volumes I use for various things -- media/music, =
data, and Time Machine. It has been working fine for writing the =
backup. I set up a user on the Solaris machine called "media" for the =
non Time Machine volumes and one called "timemach" for Time Machine use.
The AppleVolumes.default shares them as follows:
/volumes/TimeMachine/backups allow:timemach options:tm
/volumes/data/movies media allow:media
/volumes/music music allow:media
Each Mac is set to log in as user "timemach" and back up using Time =
Machine. This works fine. However, tonight I wanted to restore a file =
I accidentally overwrote. I tried to enter Time Machine. My Mac, under =
10.7.4, mounted the time machine backup from the Solaris box but did not =
enter Time Machine. It did leave the backup file system mounted however =
so I went to it. It contains one folder, Backups.backupdb and inside =
that is a folder with the name of the Mac. That folder shows the red =
"do not enter" symbol on it and it says I have no access. However, I =
can backup to it just fine (which is write access). I have not tried =
other Lion machines since they are in use by others right now, but I =
tried a 10.5 machine I have that is also backing up to the same server =
through Time Machine. It can read and write no problem. It just seems =
to be Lion. I know there were updates that made Lion Time Machine not =
work with netatalk but netatalk added the "options:tm" and I have that =
enabled to fix this, and I also enabled the dhx2 login stuff. I CAN =
write the backups OK from Lion but for some reason cannot read.
I have NO PROBLEM reading and writing to the same netatalk server as the =
media user for the media file systems, where the only difference is the =
"options:tm" from the lion machine.
Anyone see this problem or a similar problem?
Thanks
