Zevo 1.1.1 - 10.8.3 - AFP sharing of ZFS volume

Post by brendon.humphrey » Tue May 14, 2013 6:22 pm

Dear All,

I have just started playing around with ZFS on Mac. Installed 1.1.1 on a Lacie 5BIG thunderbolt after doing some small scale experiments on a USB drive. This is on an iMac with loads of RAM. First impressions are that it performs quite well.

Naturally I want to share the raid array to the other machines on my lan. Installed the liberate-applefileserver patch and noticed that the AFP server was crashing. Symptoms appear similar to what was reported here (https://github.com/joshado/liberate-app ... r/issues/2).

Firstly I am seeking confirmation that others have used the liberate patch with zfs on an external (thunderbolt preferably) HDD.

I am going to follow the comment in the link above, and check that its not a case of a non-sharable FS causing the server to die.

Cheers,
Brendon

Just replying to myself...

I removed com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist after manually stopping the afp server. Restarted it and everything started working ok. I am currently doing a TimeMachine backup over the network. This will take several hours to complete. I can also access my shared file systems remotely.

I am somewhat surprised by this outcome as I thought removing the plist would remove the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES statement that interposes the liberte...dylib?

Maybe I am sharing over smb? How would I tell if this is the case?

Cheers,
Brendon

Thanks GrahamPerrin,

I compiled the liberate...dylib using the instructions here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20&hilit=AFP&start=10#p3836. I now have what appears to be stable AFP sharing and timemachine against zfs volumes on a thunderbolt device using 10.8.3.

This makes me very happy.

Cheers and thanks for the help.
