Time machine over a network seems to require *something* special. I couldn't get it to work over a simple NFS share for example.
This document talks about some of the special requirements for the SMB samba share: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/NetworkingInternetWeb/Time_Machine_SMB_Spec/index.html > The gluster VFS is maintained in Samba, see, e.g. > https://github.com/samba-team/samba/blob/master/source3/modules/vfs_glusterfs.c Ah! That is good to know. I was worried that gluster had decided to stop supporting Samba. Does anyone know how to install this on Arch? There doesn't seem to be a package for it, and it doesn't seem to be installed by default. -Andrew On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 9:28 AM Kaleb S.
