And for those who use an external NIC (e.g. b/c the built-in is broken and it’d take Apple way too long to fix it), still use the MAC of the built-in wired NIC.

Not only for this problem, if TM cannot back up on the volume, check /var/log/messages and it tells you what it exactly tries to do.

Otherwise everything worked like a charm – Thanks!

Thank you for blogging on OS X + FreeBSD! Please keep these posts coming. I’ve bookmarked you and will keep up.

Our small Web apps company has fully moved from Windows servers to our Apple Xserve with Leopard Server. We still have the killer PC server that was running Windows this past year. so we’ve gone with FreeBSD to compliment OS X. I’ve only been doing UNIX seriously for the past year or so, and it’s a small part of what I do (both at work and home). So thanks again!

HELLO!

sadly, without Apple’s Open Directory Server, which is closed source and only available with OSX Server, most of the nice stuff like true calendar sharing, managing resources etc. won’t work. I’m back to using eGroupware…

[...] TimeMachine off the bat does not work with network hosted shared. However, I did find a lot of websites that show you how to pair TimeMachine with a network share. The best instructional site I found was here! [...]

Re: encryption. No need to encrypt the disk image. Just use FreeBSD to encrypt the FBSD volume / disk. Much easier.

It may be, however, our port is usually behind and also I ‘ve wanted to test & use Chandler for a long time.

thanks SO much for this!

i’m a long-time freebsd admin, relatively green mac user. i’ve been using nfs and samba; i’ve never even thought about better integration – but now can’t wait to try it!
