Comment on ZFS and Apple TimeMachine – a perfect Team by marco

Thanks Constantin, my pleasure.
And also thanks for your update on Solaris 11.

When I get some spare time I will check how it looks on the newest OpenIndiana and hopefully then find the time to write updated tutorials on OI and S11.

Regards Marco

Hi Marco,

first of all, thanks for your two most excellent tutorials on how to set up Netatalk with Solaris including TimeMachine and Lion support.

Here are a few extras for Solaris 11 users:
- Avahi is not needed in Solaris 11, it’s also not supported. Use dns-sd instead to advertise services.
- Here’s the equivalent command for registering an afpd service:
dns-sd -R “NetAtalk Server” _afpovertcp._tcp local. 548 model=TimeCapsule &
dns-sd -R “NetAtalk Server info” _device-info._tcp local. 548 model=TimeCapsule &
- And here’s the equivalent command for a TimeMachine volume:
dns-sd -R “TimeMachine Volume” _adisk._tcp local. 9 “sys=waMA=00:1f:c6:ef:e2:20,adVF=0W100″ “dk0=adVF=0xa1,adVN=TimeMachine Constantin,adVU=4ed1be04-64a1-4466-a2ed-b8d9ea6780a6″ &
- This is also better because Avahi relies on Dbus and Dbus doesn’t work within zones. With the dns-sd approach, NetATalk also works in zones.
- On the current Solaris 11 release, only libgcrypt 1.4.5 is shipped, therefore it’s necessary to compile libgcrypt 1.5.0.

Netatalk is now running within a local zone of my file server and TimeMachine is happily backing up to it.

Thanks again for your tutorials!

Constantin

I’m glad you like it. In a few months I’ll be completley finished with university, and have hopefully some more spare time (haha). I hope to do a new build and release it in (late) summer.
I like the idea of documenting the build process in detail for others to apply to similar gtk programs. So you might get what you desire

Regards Marco

Great Stuff!!

This is good. I’ve been moving my macports and with each OS upgrade I dread the ports upgrade as well. Building the ports version of EasyTag was a pain for needing to build all the dependencies etc. I really appreciate this. Now my ports binary tree will be a lot smaller because of this. I was wondering if you could sometime post a piece on your packaging experience. I’ve been dying to carry meld over with me to other macs without dragging the whole ports tree around.

thanks for this once again!!

Comment on ssh and Lion’s xterm-256color terminfo by marco

Yes, invasive – not inversive – Thanks patrick. I corrected it in the text.

Sometimes I am prone to some wrong choice of words, as a non-native english speaker

Minimally invasive?

I don’t know how OS X handles terminfo-files, but in linux it’s enough to place user-specific terminfo-files into inside $HOME/.terminfo/ (e.g. $HOME/.terminfo/x/xterm-256color in your example)
