I put this under 'noob' because I am, but maybe this should be under 'Sharing'.
HW: Dell NX3000, 96GB RAM, Perc H700 RAID with 3 LUNs:
1x10GB for OS, 1x6TB for AFP, 1x8TB for iSCSI (all used a independent volumes in FreeNAS).
FreeNas 9.2.1
Mac Clients tried 10.7.5, 10.8.5
I have tried 4 times to set up an AFP for Time Machine following these instructions. No go. The farthest I've gotten is afp://<server> connects and shows two options 'share name' and " 'share name's home' ". No matter which I connect to, neither is available to TM.
Also, if I have the client's TM preferences open, I cannot eject the connected freenas share, I get an error that 'system preferences is using it.' When I close system preferences, I can eject it.
Is this not working because I cannot set any Volume or dataset to 'Share Type' 'Apple'? It always reverts to UNIX.
Also, according to the instructions, Step 4 calls for 'Server Name = freenas', my version (9.2.1) does not have an option for 'server name' in the AFP Service Control.
An entire day wasted on this.
Thanks for feedback!
