Hello,
I recently updated my Mac OS to Leopard and installed OpenAFS. I can
browse my AFS-cell. Now I want to use an AFS-directory as backup directory
for time machine. I entered
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes
1
in the command line and now /afs is shown in the backup volume selection
in Time Machine. I can select it, but the problem I think is, that I do
not have write access to /afs, only to /afs/cellname/user/username. How
can I mount this directory as a network device?
There is software at Stanford (
http://www.stanford.edu/services/openafs/mac/index.html ) , but it is not
downloadable!
Will Time Machine even use a location in AFS for its backend storage?
Forgive me, as I haven't played with 10.5 yet, but only read about it...
doesn't Time Machine use hardlinks between directories to build its backup
directories? I seem to recall that AFS doesn't support hard links between
files in different directories...? (This has disappointed me once or
twice).
Cheers, Stephen
