June 24, 201214 yr I am new to setting up a Time Machine partition. I enabled AFP for the time Machine Partition and gave it 500GB. Time Machine Displays 524.22GB available but errors out and says there is only 1.04 GB available.
June 24, 201214 yr Author Disk 4 is being shared but nearly empty. I found if I mount Disk 4 and then launch Time Machine it does the backup directly to Disk 4 but not in the User Share I created for Time Machine.
June 25, 201214 yr Author It then makes several file shares associated with the Time Machine backup but I am unable to delete the share I made even though it is empty.
June 25, 201214 yr The Share has hidden files that must be removed. Telnet to the server or use Tinkertool: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html
June 25, 201214 yr Author Ok, but is there a reason TM would not work on a share but does work directly on Disk4?
June 25, 201214 yr No reason. TM to a user share has been working for over a year. With a User share you don't end up with all those extra shares on the disk.
June 25, 201214 yr Author Could it be because I had AFP enabled on the share but not on any of the Disks at the time?
June 26, 201214 yr Author I was unable to delete the Mac hidden files from my Mac but was able to see and delete them from a PC then able to delete the Share.
June 26, 201214 yr Author I am sill confused if you have to enable AFP on the Root disk and the share or just the share
June 26, 201214 yr Author I guess I need to read up. I have always left Users to root and added Folders to the Shares Tab. Started with the default shares ... Documents, Music, Pictures, Etc. Is there a way to keep all the Apple crap files off the server?

Is there a way to keep all the Apple crap files off the server? I dont' follow this... User to root? Adding folders to the share tab? default shares?
June 27, 201214 yr Author I am pretty computer literate but not when it comes to Linux. You keep referring to User Shares. Under the Users tab all I have is Root First Picture Under Shares I have my individual shares i.e. Backup, Music Pictures, Videos, etc Picture 2 When I enabled AFP on disk 4 and turned on Time machine it created the folders Temp Items, MacBook Pro ... Those folders and everything that existed on Disk4 are no longer accessible including some Videos that do show in the Share for Videos
June 27, 201214 yr Author I am unable to delete the hidden files or access any folders. I have disabled AFP and would just like to delete the files that Time Machine made and have access to the content on Disk4 that is in Videos ETC.
June 28, 201214 yr Author Neither of those worked. The final resolve was from the Mac with Hidden files viewable: Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities). Type this, followed by a space: sudo chflags -R nouchg Drag all the folders and files from Disk 4 into the Terminal window. Press Return. Enter your password and press Return. After a long wait the terminal window comes back. I was then able to delete and open the folders in Disk 4
July 2, 201214 yr Author I still have some files that the New Permissions has not repaired. Is there a way to get permissions back to a folder or file that does not allow access?
