NAME
afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID for Time Machine volumeDESCRIPTION
/etc/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration lines are composed like:
"volume name" uuid-string
The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID.
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
-
Note
This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of Time Machine volume.
The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "tm" option in AppleVolumes file.
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server.
EXAMPLES
Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
