AFP_VOLUUID.CONF(5)

Name
afp_voluuid.conf — Configuration file used by afpd to specify UUID for AFP volumes

Description
afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to store UUID of all AFP volumes. The configuration lines are composed like:

        "volume-name" "uuid-string"

The first field is the volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID.

All leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. Any illegal lines are ignored.

This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of Time Machine volumes.

It is also used by the MySQL and SQLite CNID backends as the name of the database table storing the CNID information for the volume.

    NOTE: This file should not be thoughtlessly edited or copied onto another server.

Examples

  Example: afp_voluuid.conf with three volumes
