Mount TC using AFP on Linux

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to [auto]mount my newly purchased TC on Linux (any RedHat based system) using AFP? I can mount the using samba like this:
+mount.cifs //10.0.11.10/Data /your-mount-point -o password=YourPassWord+
but I rather like it using AFP. I'm running NetaTalk on the Linux box and afpd is already configured.Any comment/direction from any one? Thanks in advance though. Cheers!!!

Isn't any one using Linux at all? Cheers!!!

  • Mount AirPort Disk using AFP

    I am having some trouble mounting my AirPort Disk using AFP. I can navigate to "Network" using the Finder and select my AirPort and then mount the desired volume. However, if I attempt to use "Connect to Server" in the Finder's "Go" menu, I run into a problem. By my (possibly flawed) reasoning, I should be able to enter in afp://airportName/volumeName in the server address field and it should connect. If I enter in smb://airportName/volumeName, it works. But trying the same thing with AFP doesn't work. However, if I try afp://10.0.1.1/volumeName it does work. I find this a little perplexing. Any suggestions? Have I just got the AFP URL syntax wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I am building a script that uses rsync to syncronize some files between my laptop and my external drive. If I mount the drive manually through Network, I can syncronize files properly. My understanding is that the mechanism behind the mounting process in this case is AFP. If I mount the drive manually through "Connect to Server" in the "Go" menu of the Finder using "smb://airportName/volumeName", then the drive mounts but when I syncronize, the modification dates for the files all get set to today's date and time. This doesn't happen when I mount through Network in the Finder because AFP "understands" HFS+ while smb "doesn't understand" HFS+.
    It turns out that I can mount the drive using AFP by using "afp://airportName.local/volumeName" according to another user. I will try that tonight. I still need to understand why the Applescript mentioned in my post above doesn't mount the drive to the Finder, yet renders it accessible from Terminal.

  • Why can I no longer mount shares over AFP?

    Pre-Mavericks, I had two MBP's backing up to an iMac with a 2TB shared USB drive.  It worked flawlessly.
    Then, after all machines were upgraded, this stopped (I know shares now prefer SMB2, and TM only uses AFP -  seems a little counter-intuitive.  I have a 2TB disk, and I'm not going to go spend another 400 GBP on one that has an Apple logo).
    Shortly after the Mavericks upgrade, I could open Safari OR use "Connect to server..." in Finder and type in: afp://iMac.local and mount the share fine (automation removed, tyvm - but it still functioned).
    For the past 6 - 8 weeks, however, that no longer works either, nor does mount_afp. I get chronic 1069 errors no matter what I try.
    I even have old entries where via Browse the paths were "afp://iMac._afpovertcp._tcp.local", but now selecting this only results in a timeout.
    If I select either "smb://iMac._smb._tcp.local", or type in "cifs://iMac.local", then I get a list of the avaiable shared file systems, and things work (but OF COURSE, I cannot use TimeMachine for backups).
    I even tried fiddling with the "sharing" command to enable AFP only for the Backup share, but lo and behold, even after that, I can only attempt to map with "smb://", and I can only mount the share via SMB (as evidenced by the output of "df").  I thought if SMB weren't available, then my understanding was that Mavericks was supposed to fall back to AFP.  I guess not...
    It's like there has been a systematic crippling/removal of AFP, which is fine if you fix TimeMachine. I had to RMA the iMac once, and it was incredibly convenient to be able to tell the OS when booting that I wanted to restore from backup.  It worked seamlessly.  But I don't want to have to disconnect the USB drive and go to each machine individually.  I'm really curious how peoples' TimeCapsules still work?  OR if everything would still be working fine had I not gone to Mavericks on the iMac.
    Does anyone have an explanation?  Is it just GONE??

    any ideas?

  • Since v10.6.1 I get ._ fork files on my afp connected linux network disc

    Hi,
    Well, the subject says it all. I connect to my development server (debian) using afp; I edit and create files there; but since the upgrade to Snow Leopard, I also get really annoying ._ files.
    I searched on google about this; I did found a way to stop .DS_Store files to be created ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1629 ) ; but nothing about ._ files.
    Also I am trying 'BlueHarvest' ; but that didn't help me as well.
    So, does anybody knows how to stop these fork files being created on my linux server ?
    Thanks!
    Matthijs

    The ._ files are "resource forks". It's a feature which only exists on HFS+ filesystems, and when an application creates one on any other filesystem the a "._" file is created to hold the data.
    TextMate and some other applications don't store any important data there (just your last scroll position and stuff), and will allow you to disable resource forks.
    But for most programs, you're stuck with them.

  • 10.7: mounting .sparsebundle over AFP

    Hello World,
    I seem to be having difficulties mounting any sort of .sparsebundle image files through an AFP network connection on my MBP OS X 10.7.3. I have tried mounting a .sparsebundle image file as an admin user and as the sudo user without any luck.
    When I run the command below, the image disk, '/Volumes/TestImageVol', seems to mount and shows up on the desktop BUT less then a second later unmounts/disappears. No warning, no nothing!
    bash-3.2# hdiutil attach /Volumes/TestExtHDD/TestImage.sparsebundle/
    /dev/disk1                    Apple_partition_scheme        
    /dev/disk1s1                  Apple_partition_map            
    /dev/disk1s2                  Apple_HFS                                /Volumes/TestImageVol
    bash-3.2#
    I can mount other image files (.DMG) just fine from the exact same location as the .sparsebundle files using the terminal command, hdiutil. I can also copy the .sparsebundle files from the AFP network drive to my MBP's local HDD and then mount them using the hdiutil command.
    The AFP network is running off an older PowerMac G4 OS X 10.4.11 which has a 2TB external HDD connected to it called, "TestExtHDD". The external HDD is holding all the disk images that I am hopping to mount over an AFP network in the near future.
    Here are the deets about the .sparsebundle file:
    - Create on Mac OS X 10.7.3 using Disk Utility v12.1
    - Filename: TestImage.sparsebundle
    - Volume Name: TestImageVol
    - Vol Size: 40MB
    - Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    - Encryption: none
    - Partiions: Single Partition - GUID Partition Map
    - Image Format: Sparse Bundle Disk Image
    World, any thoughts on why this is happening for only .sparsebundle files?
    PS. Yes I do connect to the AFP network share ("afp://user:pass@domainname/TestExtHDD" --> "/Volumes/TestExtHDD") before I try mounting any image files and yes I have plenty of space on both my AFP server and my MBP HDDs.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    AFP (Apple Filing Protocol ) is ideal – it's provided by netatalk, and can be used by things such as Time Machine.

  • Access time machine backup using AFP

    i have lion installed on my macpro and have been using an extrernal NAS by Thecus for my Time Machine backups (which has worked without issues).  My OS drive got corrupted due to a poweroutage, eventhough i had a battery backup i was not around to properly shut down my mac, so now i can no longer boot to os x, its stuck on the apple logo screen.  I decided to restore from my Time Machine backup but ran into some trouble since the backup is on a network storage drive folder.  I found this article here: http://gigaom.com/apple/how-to-use-time-machine-over-a-network/ , where i found instructions on how to mount this external drive folder using terminal.  I followed the instructions and i can view in terminal that i successfully mounted the drive/folder, however on the "select a backup source" screen for Time Machine in the mac recovery utility the mounted drive does not appear for me to select.  Does the recovery utility not allow to restore from a network backup source using AFP?  please help!  thank you in advance!

    I have done as you suggested and clicked on the show original but I get this message " The volume cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again." I have the external disk already connected as that is what I am trying to recover the file from i.e. where I find the aliases. Any further suggestions. Thanks

  • Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

    Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX.  The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change.  Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX?  We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
    Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it. 
    Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections?  I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button.  I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
    Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
    Thanks.

    I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed.  I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
    Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server?  Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
    Thanks.

  • How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

    Good day,
    As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
    Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

    Hi,
    I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
    http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
    You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
    If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.

  • How do I combine multiple PDF using PHP on Linux

    Hi,
    I would like to know if there is an Adobe product that can combine multiple PDF's into a single document and works on Linux? We are developing an application using PHP on Linux that has to combine selected PDF's and would like to know if there is a tool with api's (or command line interface) to allow that.

    Adobe licenses the PDF Library SDK for native developers on Linux platforms (as C code). They do not supply PHP tools.

  • After updating to 10.7.4 can no longer connect to a NAS using afp. Any ideas?

    Just upgraded to 10.7.4 from 10.6.8.
    We use a NAS to store and back-up work but am now unable to connect using afp.
    I can connect using SMB but this means I loose all the resource forks on my fonts etc.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Linc
    Thanks for that. Had absolutely no idea what most of that meant but it seems to have worked.
    Many thanks again.

  • Using CF8 on Linux

    Ok, I'm new to using CF on Linux, so here's my question.
    On Windows you have to tell CF what sites you want the CF
    server to serve up
    pages for. Is there a similar way to do this in Linux?
    I installed CF on Fedora, and can get to the CF admin page
    via Firefox just
    fine. When I try to view a webpage on
    http://localhost/page.cfm it
    displays
    the page, but the CF tags aren't being translated, they show
    up as text on
    the page.....

    Steve,
    How are you getting to CFAdmin? Does your URL include port
    8500 or similar? If so, the administrator is working thru
    coldfusion's internal webserver (JWS). I suspect that is what is
    going on.
    If that is the case, review the installation guide for
    configuring webservers. You will have several options to get CF
    connected to apache or whatever webserver you are running. Also,
    details like CF version, webserver type, etc. are useful when you
    post.

    Raw input simply isn't supported for the USB devices. I would guess that the situation for Linux is the same, since DAQmx Base is based on Labview code in order to achieve cross-platform portability. See the thread

    Be sure to read down to where there is a message indicating that support for USB devices is planned for NI-DAQmx. Of course, that won't help on Macintosh and Linux.

  • How to use jdeveloper with linux?

    how to use jdeveloper with linux?
    Hello, i've download jdeveloper, and i have java1.4 installed. But i can't run jdeveloper i have jdev.exe and jdev but when i put /usr/local/jdev/bin/jdev a have a message like file not found. I don't know what to do.
    Help please!!!
    Ori.

    You need to go to the directory where you unzipped JDeveloper, for example:
    cd opt/jdev/jdevj2eebase1013/jdev/bin
    Once there, do this:
    chmod +x jdev
    chmod +x ojc
    Now you can try this:
    nohup ./jdev &
    or simply
    ./jev
    I usually create a soft link in ~/bin
