BeenJamin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Is disk4 being used by any other shares? What is disk4 utilization? Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The Share has hidden files that must be removed. Telnet to the server or use Tinkertool: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ok, but is there a reason TM would not work on a share but does work directly on Disk4? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Could it be because I had AFP enabled on the share but not on any of the Disks at the time? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nope. I have no disk shares. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am sill confused if you have to enable AFP on the Root disk and the share or just the share Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Disk shares are not required. Turn them off and use the User share. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment

BeenJamin Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 When I look at Disk4 with hidden files viewable I see this: Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Restart the mac. If that don't fix it then run the New Permissions utility. Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment
BeenJamin Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment
