AFP_VOLUUID.CONF(5)                  3.1.8                 AFP_VOLUUID.CONF(5)


NAME

       afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID
       for Time Machine volume


DESCRIPTION

       /var/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by afpd
       to specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration
       lines are composed like:

       "volume name"  uuid-string

       The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they
       contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII
       string representation of a UUID.

       The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The
       lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.

           Note

           This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust
           disambiguation of Time Machine volume.

           The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into
           afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "time machine = yes" option in
           afp.conf.

           This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto
           another server.


EXAMPLES

       Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
