![]() ![]() Here is a sample setup to get you started: If you have your file share settings in fault you will need to transcribe them into this new config file. This will be in /etc/afp.conf and is much easier to do than previous releases. Setup a configuration file for your server. The zeroconf attribute provides integration with avahi for resource discovery, and the –enable-fhs will install the server with the main configuration in /etc. The debian style init will create a startup script in /etc/init.d. configure -with-init-style=debian -with-zeroconf -enable-fhs Inside the directory with the extracted source code, do the following: ![]() apt-get install avahi-daemon libnss-mdns cracklib2-dev fakeroot libssl-dev libpam0g-dev libgcrypt11-dev In addition to the standard suite of build tools (make/gcc), you will also need ssl, PAM and crypt development libraries. Then use the following steps as a guideline for building and installing your Netatalk distribution: The version shipping with Ubuntu currently is rather outdated, so this is a necessity.Īfter downloading, extract everything into a source directory that you will use for building it. You can download the latest version from, which will be required for optimal support. While you can certainly use other methods (NFS/SMB), AFP is able to provide integrated support with your TimeMachine backup. Running AFP allows you to natively mount file shares from your Mac to your Linux based fileserver. This article outlines some of the things you will need to do to configure Netatalk assuming you are running Ubuntu server. Since my original posting on this a few years ago, this is now at version 3.0 and the configuration has changed somewhat. AFP is the aim here.For those of us running Linux file shares at home, AFP support is provided using something called Netatalk. Can anybody confirm this? There is an interfaces tag for the nf but this seems to only relate to AppleTalk services - and I don't have use for apple talk since my Macs are all 10.6. I've been over their documentation 10 times and have come to assume that it broadcasts on all available interfaces. If I remove the bonded interface and run on a single gigabit connection, all is fine :sĭoes anybody know how to achieve bonding/link aggregation with netatalk? The problem happens when I try to connect to the share - in short nothing happens. ![]() Similarly if I update the avahi broadcast name it refreshes in the Finder client side. Likewise If I stop the avahi-daemon then the bonjour icon disappears in the Mac Finder. The aim here is to provide more bandwidth to my network of 10 Mac's.Īt present I'm pretty confident my bonded interface is talking to the switch properly because I can see the netatalk service advertised on client machines. I'm also using the avahi service to advertise shares to my Mac network. My switch is a procurve 2650 switch using a static trunk on both gigabit ports. I've been scouring the internet four about 48 hours in order to get my ubuntu 10.04 server to play nicely with netatalk and a bonded gigabit interface (2 x gbit NICs using ifenslave mode=0). Sorry I posted this in networking as well, then saw the linux sub-forum, which seemed more appropriate.
