I have an OpenIndiana (ie Solaris) based server running Netatalk 2.2.x where x is the latest OI distribution as of a month ago.
(pkg list service/network/netatalk (sfe) 2.2.3-0.151.1.5 i-- ) It has a bunch of ZFS volumes I use for various things -- media/music, data, and Time Machine. It has been working fine for writing the backup. I set up a user on the Solaris machine called "media" for the non Time Machine volumes and one called "timemach" for Time Machine use. The AppleVolumes.default shares them as follows: /volumes/TimeMachine/backups allow:timemach options:tm /volumes/data/movies media allow:media /volumes/music music allow:media Each Mac is set to log in as user "timemach" and back up using Time Machine. This works fine. However, tonight I wanted to restore a file I accidentally overwrote. I tried to enter Time Machine. My Mac, under 10.7.4, mounted the time machine backup from the Solaris box but did not enter Time Machine. It did leave the backup file system mounted however so I went to it. It contains one folder, Backups.backupdb and inside that is a folder with the name of the Mac. That folder shows the red "do not enter" symbol on it and it says I have no access. However, I can backup to it just fine (which is write access). I have not tried other Lion machines since they are in use by others right now, but I tried a 10.5 machine I have that is also backing up to the same server through Time Machine. It can read and write no problem. It just seems to be Lion. I know there were updates that made Lion Time Machine not work with netatalk but netatalk added the "options:tm" and I have that enabled to fix this, and I also enabled the dhx2 login stuff. I CAN write the backups OK from Lion but for some reason cannot read. I have NO PROBLEM reading and writing to the same netatalk server as the media user for the media file systems, where the only difference is the "options:tm" from the lion machine. Anyone see this problem or a similar problem?
