Somebody please tell me what the hell I am doing wrong here. OpenBSD 6.8, samba 4.9.18 via pkg_add, MacOS 10.15.7 fully patched.
My main goal is to get Time Machine backups running, but I keep getting all sorts of inscrutable errors about file permissions. The backup manages to create a few directories before it blows up: : root@broken:/dump/tm; find . -ls 27641856 32 drwxr-xr-x 3 lyndon wheel 512 Nov 22 13:27 . 27641857 0 -rwxr--r-- 1 lyndon wheel 0 Nov 22 13:27 ./.com.apple.timemachine.supported-d865743e-fb2-4a68-b0e7-10857c459e5c 27641858 0 -rwxr--r-- 1 lyndon wheel 0 Nov 22 13:27 ./.com.apple.timemachine.supported-64bebc6e-ed10-4c41-9f21-301de558be49 27641859 32 drwx------ 3 lyndon wheel 512 Nov 22 13:27 ./30228818-9C9E-5DBF-8F9B-36F186FA68BF.sparsebundle 27641860 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 lyndon wheel 502 Nov 22 13:27 ./30228818-9C9E-5DBF-8F9B-36F186FA68BF.sparsebundle/Info.plist 27641861 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 lyndon wheel 502 Nov 22 13:27 ./30228818-9C9E-5DBF-8F9B-36F186FA68BF.sparsebundle/Info.bckup 27641862 32 drwx------ 2 lyndon wheel 512 Nov 22 13:27 ./30228818-9C9E-5DBF-8F9B-36F186FA68BF.sparsebundle/bands 27641863 0 -rwx------ 1 lyndon wheel 0 Nov 22 13:27 ./30228818-9C9E-5DBF-8F9B-36F186FA68BF.sparsebundle/token : root@broken:/dump/tm; ls -ld drwxr-xr-x 3 lyndon wheel 512 Nov 22 13:27 . : root@broken:/dump/tm; There's nothing magic about the /dump mount: fd71e51011d0eabf.c /dump ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 0 2 Below is my smbd.conf in full.
