v3.1.2
d659866

There is now a macOS GUI installer app (for macOS 14+)

  • Download TimeCapsuleSMB.app.zip below
  • Can use your old AFP backups, now fully supports native Apple metadata on HFS filesystem

What's Changed

  • Time Machine and file sharing fixes
    • Serve share names exactly as they are advertised, so Time Machine finds the share
    • Macs can open folders named Aux, CON or PRN (Samba name mangling is off)
    • Creating and deleting resource forks over SMB is fully validated
    • Fix file dates after 2038, and keep dates HFS cannot store in range instead of wrapping
    • NetBSD 4: list folders whose names contain mapped characters, and set file times on open files
    • Writes that would grow a file past the disk's free space are refused cleanly
  • Samba stability and speed
    • Work around an Apple NetBSD kernel bug that could undo recent memory writes in Samba, the service and rsync
    • Faster large reads and writes (8 MiB SMB2 requests)
    • Fix aborted requests and durable-handle reconnects after a client drops or logs off
    • Symlinks: follow links in the middle of a path, map special characters in link targets, and never lose the original file if a conversion cannot be checked
  • Upgrading from v2.x (metadata migration)
    • Mac metadata too large for a native HFS attribute is kept in legacy storage instead of failing the deploy, and deploy lists those files
    • Folder resource forks are kept, and ._ files whose names cannot exist are skipped
    • A deploy never overwrites metadata you changed since an earlier migration
    • Retry an SSH login macOS rejected instead of failing the migration
  • NetBIOS and Bonjour
    • Register NetBIOS names another host defends, as Apple's firmware does
    • Start Samba only after the device hostname is set, and keep it mapped in /etc/hosts after a rename
  • Deploy and doctor
    • Say why no disk was usable for the install: no USB disk, not mounted, unconfirmed or not writable
    • Only activate installs from the same major version, and explain why otherwise
    • Disk repair reports fsck_hfs failures instead of claiming success, and stops when the disk is still mounted
    • Doctor reports a missing or unmapped hostname, and no longer stops rsync clients or SSH sessions
  • macOS app:
    • Every error screen and the kept-metadata report are translated
    • Counts are pluralized correctly in every language, with translation fixes for Portuguese and Russian
    • Show a failed checkup's counts in the app's language
