Zeroconf service discovery
This functionality allows discovering NAS devices by any operating system that supports zero-configuration networking (zeroconf), e.g., macOS.
Two types of services are currently supported:
- Discovering SMB services
- Discovering NAS for Time Machine via SMB
Discovering SMB services
Allows the server to broadcast information about its SMB services.
Discovering NAS for Time Machine via SMB
Allows macOS users to perform backup tasks from the Mac computer to shared folders via SMB.
The following conditions must be met for the functionality to work:
- The “Discovering SMB services” option must be enabled.
- The “Discovering NAS for Time Machine via SMB” option must be enabled.
- The SMB protocol must be enabled, and the following options must be set as follows:
- Vfs_fruit ON
- oplocks ON
- level2 oplocks ON
- SMB2 leases ON
- kernel oplocks OFF
When all conditions above are met, the option that allows shares to be discovered by Time Machine becomes active. The next step is to select the "Enable macOS Time Machine support" option in every share the user wishes to make visible for Time Machine. All shares with this option enabled will be visible for Time Machine.
Note! If any of the above settings are changed, shares will no longer appear in Time Machine.
