Unable to connect to Samba Share running in Linux Server from MacOS
by alphacoorg from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XTJV)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I was hoping someone here could guide me in the right direction regarding the problem I am facing. I have literally tried all possible options in the internet forums with no luck.
I am trying to connect to a samba share running on a headless server running Fedora Server. I am trying to connect to it from mac-mini for timemachine backup and getting the below error in the log
make_connection_snum: canonicalize_connect_path failed for service timemachine, path /home/timemachineuser/timemachinebackup
The Fedora Server is running as VM on Proxmox hypervisor. And I have allocated 750GB of storage via Proxmox for the sole purpose of using it for timemachine backup.
Below is my setup in /etc/samba/smb.conf
Code:[timemachine]
comment = Time Machine
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
path = /home/timemachineuser/timemachinebackup
read only = No
spotlight = Yes
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:time machine = yes
fruit:aapl = yesThe path in the smb.conf is a mount point from the storage that I allocated in proxmox.
Code:/dev/sdc1 738G 73M 700G 1% /home/timemachineuser/timemachinebackupIf I change the path in smb.conf to any normal folder in /home/timemachineuser folder and then try to connect from Mac, it works absolutely fine. But when the path is a mount point, I get the above error. I have given execute permissions to entire hierarchy as suggested by many using: chmod -R a+x /home. But no luck.
I have tried formatting /dev/sdc1 with XFS and ext4 file formats with the same results.
Appreciate any kind of help to get this sorted. Thanks in advance.
