Mac Specialists:

 

I have 2 troubling issues:

 

Issue 1

 

I have set up my unraid box using AFP.  I have left SMB running.  I have created an AFP user account.  When I log in, I get this message:

 

"Something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using temporary CNID DB instead.  Check server messages for details. Switching to read-only mode."

 

Issue 2

 

Additionally, I am having problems with iTunes and iPhoto.  Only my music is served from unraid, my music library is stored locally, pointing to the music files.  Added songs do not seem to save to unraid.  iPhoto (which completely resides on unraid) tells me my library is damaged.

 

I am guessing that this is all permissions related, but I am a command line novice and don't know where to go from here.  I have reviewed most posts on the site but there does not seem to be a straight forward answer to fixing this.

 

Your help is much appreciated.

 

Disable AFP under Settings.

Telnet to the server. Enter:

 

cd /mnt/user/share-name

ls -a

rm -r .Apple*

 

 

This will remove all files and directories starting with ".Apple". It is safe to remove all files created by the Mac Finder, including .DS_Store, .TemporaryItems/, and anything that begins with "._". Remove all Apple created files. These will be recreated as needed.

 

Enable AFP under Settings and connect from the Mac Finder.

I'm getting the following:

 

rm: cannot remove `.AppleDB': Directory not empty

Try "rm -rf .AppleDB"

Same error as above.

I've seen this before. What does "ls -a .AppleDB" show? Keep AFP off and turn SMB off and reboot. Then try rm again.

Influencer made a script for me to remove some of these files. PM him and see if you can get it. I'm at work or I would send it to you

The problem I remember was when the FUSE system keeps recreating a dot file in the directory immediately after the file is deleted. rm -r is not fast enough to delete the enclosing directory before the dot is recreated.
