6 afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID
7 for Time Machine volume
8
10 /var/lib/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by
11 afpd to specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The
12 configuration lines are composed like:
13
14 "volume name" uuid-string
15
16 The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they
17 contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII
18 string representation of a UUID.
19
20 The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The
21 lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
22
23 Note
24 This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust
25 disambiguation of Time Machine volume.
26
27 The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into
28 afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "time machine = yes" option in
29 afp.conf.
30
31 This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto
32 another server.

35 Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
