I am on Os X leopard 10.5.8

Using Unraid 4.5 pro

 

I have downloaded these packages described in this link: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=aa131d96a2103d944844750f48835925&topic=4173.0

 

libcap-2.14-i486-1.tgz

dbus-1.2.6-i486-1.tgz

gcc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz

avahi-0.6.25-i486-1as.tgz

 

as well as the new netatalk compiled for slackware found in this link: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5184.msg48397#msg48397

netatalk-2.0.5-i486-1pur.txz

 

I placed all the packages in /boot/packages

 

Here is my /boot/config/go file:

#!/bin/bash^M

# Start the Management Utility^M

/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &^M

 

# Start Avahi

echo "Installing Avahi dependencies..."

installpkg /boot/packages/libcap-2.14-i486-1.tgz >/dev/null

installpkg /boot/packages/dbus-1.2.6-i486-1.tgz >/dev/null

installpkg /boot/packages/gcc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz >/dev/null

installpkg /boot/packages/avahi-0.6.25-i486-1as.tgz >/dev/null

 

echo "Starting Avahi daemon..."

cp /boot/configfiles/samba.service /etc/avahi/services/

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

/etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon restart >/dev/null

 

 

Here is my /boot/configfiles/samba.service file:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->

<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">

 

<service-group>

   <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>

   <service>

       <type>_smb._tcp</type>

       <port>139</port>

       <host-name>Nautilus.local</host-name>

   </service>

   <service>

        <type>_device-info._tcp</type>

        <port>0</port>

        <txt-record>model=Xserve</txt-record>

   </service>

</service-group>

 

 

I am able to see and connect to the unraid server showing up in my Finder sidebar as an Xserve (way cool).

But I still havent figured out how to make it usable by time machine.

Bubbaraid ONLY works with a specific older version of unRAID.  Do not install it on your 4.5 version. 

If anything, upgrade to the 4.5.3 version if unRAID to get its performance improvements.

In your post above, I don't see you installing the netatalk package in your 'go' script.

You can put it in '/boot/packages/' together with all the rest, and then install the lot with just:

installpkg /boot/packages/*.t[gx]z

 

Ok I clearly have no idea what I am doing then. My system is set up exactly like this and yet I get no notification in the sidebar at all.

 

Is there a way to check if Avahi is even running?

Ok solved the first problem, my config file was not saved as unicode. I am still in the same boat as drmindbender though. I'll keep looking for how to config Netatalk. Rumor has it there was once a Guide for it on here, but I have yet to find it.
