June 12, 201313 yr http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/06/new-os-x-uses-windows-file-sharing-by-default/ Should make AFP on unRAID irrelevant. Which is good, since I have never gotten it to work in my mostly-Mac household. SMB works fine for me.
June 12, 201313 yr Unfortunately that's only true for devices running 10.9 or higher. I'm sure there are many people who either can't or won't upgrade to it. Sent from a phone, sorry for any typos

Which is good, since I have never gotten it to work in my mostly-Mac household. SMB works fine for me. I posted this in the AFP section of the forum the other day. Time Machine still relies on AFP because of the way it is built, so AFP will still be relevant for people wanting to use Time Machine for backups with unraid.

Time Machine still relies on AFP because of the way it is built, so AFP will still be relevant for people wanting to use Time Machine for backups with unraid. Which personally I would avoid anyway, it corrupts far too easily. I've actually switched all my backups to my UnRAID server to SMB. I just hope 10.9 allows for faster than 60MB/sec transfers, or do I need to enable SMB2 in the SMB.conf?
June 25, 201313 yr Yeah.. I'm an entirely Mac house, and I gave up on AFP at about rc10. I've been waiting to see big sweeping AFP changes in the release notes cause I've never been able to make it work properly. All SMB already, so this is a welcome change
June 26, 201313 yr Maybe Tom can add this to next version, so we can use Time machine share on both AFP and SMB ;-) //Peter

June 28, 201313 yr Since I use SMB for Time Machine, I'm only 10.7, but going to 10.8 in the future. I am curious why it does not work?
June 28, 201313 yr Since I use SMB for Time Machine, I'm only 10.7, but going to 10.8 in the future. I am curious why it does not work? I don't think there's a reason why you can't use SMB2 for TimeMachine. SMB1 I can understand as TimeMachine requires hard links.
June 28, 201313 yr However, AFP is still hanging around, both for legacy Mac communication and also for connectivity with "Time Machine–based backup systems." Time Machine, at least for now, remains bound to AFP.
