Fatal afp error

[wgstarks]

I'm seeing this repeating about every 60 seconds in my log. Is this something to worry about?

Aug 13 14:16:38 Brunnhilde afpd[18210]: transmit: Request to dbd daemon (volume TM_Mini) timed out.

I don't know whether it's a problem per se but it's undesirable. I guess from its name that the share in question is a Time Machine backup destination? Since Time Machine backups to network destinations are fragile at best I would temporarily stop Time Machine from backing up, unmount the APF share, then from the unRAID command line

 

rm -rf /mnt/user/TM_Mini/.AppleDB

 

Then restart the Mac, mount the AFP share and restart Time Machine backups. The Netatalk database will then be recreated.
