I am mounting an AFP volume hosted on a FreeBSD server using netatalk. I am able to successfully mount the volume using mount_afp. However, I am mounting it for the purposes of Time Machine, and it seems that unfortunately mount_afp changes the permissions of the mount directory to 700, root:wheel so that the user is unable to access it.

So I am trying to mount the volume normally from Finder, unsuccessfully, with the above error code.

The URL I am using to mount it is afp://user:pass@server/VolumeName

  • Are you using netatalk (deprecated) or netatalk3? That said.... since Apple deprecated AFP, I've only used SMB2 for all my shares on BSD.

  • It was [cmd]netatalk[/cmd]. It was an old installation so didn't think to try to upgrade. Thanks

I have discovered that AFP is now deprecated, and that I will need to turn to other mechanisms to provide the remote Time Machine. I presume this is the reason for this error message.

  • AFP is deprecated, but should still work. TM still uses AFP on Mojave.

  • I see. Well, the system did give the error about the unsupported scheme, so I guess something is wrong. But not a concern of mine now. Thanks
