Don Lee Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have been trying to get several AFP shares to work. I have several local machines running Mac OS X, and a couple of NetBSD servers running Netatalk. The problem I have is that once I choose a "source" at a particular URL - afp://mercy/backup, for instance, that is the ONLY volume that retro will mount. No matter the URL I give to retro, it will only mount that share. If I unmount the share (from inside retro) and re-mount a different AFP volume, I can "browse" the contents, and I get the "other" volume. Sometimes I can get a second volume to mount. However, the data (if I browse the content) is actually the "stuck" volume. On occassion, I can mount a second volume while the first is still mounted, but the volume name comes up as a duplicate of the "stuck" one. it appears that restarting the engine can *sometimes" free up retro to mount a different volume without unmounting the "stuck" one, but the name of the volume is always the same as the stuck one (regardless of what volume I choose) This is a pretty serious bug. It makes it impossible to put these NAS shares on a backup schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Lee Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I posted a bug about this, with what I hope is useful information, and a possible workaround. AFP mount broken in 10.1.0 (221) - OK in (187) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
