AFP Not working since upgrade to 6.6.7

This is the proper forum to request support?  Or does purchasing the upgraded license ensure any level of support? With no AFP share working, this was an expensive experiment which is now failing.  

 

Changed Status to Open

Changed Priority to Urgent

Restart in safe mode and see if that makes any difference.

forum support is by community members although Limetech staff do occasionally drop in and provide advice.   You should never assume, though, that Limetech staff will necessarily see problems raised on the forum.  On the whole the forum advice is good but it does depend on the exact experience of the particular forum members.    The normal formal route is via email to Limetech (contact details at bottom of forum pages), and as far as I know the type of license you have is not relevant.  Limetech also provide paid hands-on support at an hourly rate but that is probably more expensive than you want to go.

Restarted in safe mode, started the array, but I still do not see any of the shares from a client under AFP.

 

I don't see any errors in the logs.

 

One strange thing is that when I try some of the AFP commands to get info python and perl don't seem to be there:

Quote

root@Tower:/var/log# afpstats
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
root@Tower:/var/log# macusers
-bash: /usr/bin/macusers: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@Tower:/var/log# asip-status.pl
-bash: /usr/bin/asip-status.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
root@Tower:/var/log#

Is that expected?  Or maybe due to safe mode?

 

Perl and Python are not part of the standard Unraid install.   They can be installed via the Nerd Pack plugin but if you are running in Safe Mode then all plugins are disabled.

After finally getting some time to test this more, the problem seems to stem from my Mac(s) having network connections to two different subnets.

 

If I have both a wired connection and a wireless connection, which are on different subnets due to a Google WiFi managing wireless and my Linksys managing wired, then I can not access the unRAID NAS which is only on the wired network.

 

My ReadyNAS AFP shares can be seen on my Mac regardless if I have either wired, wireless, or both active.

 

When I move the UNRAID to the wireless network, then my Mac could only see the UNRAID when only the wireless was active.

 

As I have two network ports in the UNRAID, I'm working around the issue for now by having a direct connection to both subnets which seem to avoid the problem.

 

My ReadyNAS didn't have any such problems, and I don't see anything special setup for the ReadyNAS in my router. 

 

I don't see any setting on the UNRAID system for AFP accept enable or disable.

Can UNRAID not share AFP across a router?

That would need to be configured in the router.

But I have to wonder why I don't have to configure the router for my ReadyNAS to properly work; why does one work and not unRAID.

But your ReadyNAS is on the same subnet as the Mac right?

Both the ReadyNAS and the unRAID were connected to SubnetA.

 

When my Mac is connected to only SubnetA:

-- both ReadyNAS and unRAID can use TimeMachine and visible shares in Finder

 

When my Mac is connected to only SubnetB:

-- ReadyNAS can use TimeMachine and visible shares in Finder

-- unRAID not working

 

When my mac is connected to both SubnetA and SubnetB:

-- ReadyNAS can use TimeMachine and visible shares in Finder

-- unRAID could use TimeMachine (most of the time), but no visible shares in Finder -- fails to connect

 

 

Now that I have also connected the unRAID directly to SubnetA and SubnetB, both TimeMachine and visible shares in Finder work when my Mac is also connected to both Subnets.

 

While you can physically connect two different subnets to the mac, It's my understanding that the mac isn't actually using both at the same time. This is a little outside my zone, so I may be wrong, but I believe that the mac will use the networks in the order that you have set in system prefs>networks.

Is anyone having issues with trying to backup using smb Enhanced macOS interoperability? The backup will starts and then it stops after maybe 3 minutes. Anyone experiencing the same issue or can help me?
