afp_voluuid.conf — Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID for Time Machine volumes
afp_voluuid.conf is the
configuration file used by afpd to specify
the UUID of Time Machine volumes automagically. The configuration
lines are composed like this:
"volume-name"
uuid-string
The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID.
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. Illegal lines are ignored.
This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of the Time Machine volume.
The afpd process generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it
into afp_voluuid.conf, when the tm option is enabled
for the volume in the AppleVolumes configuration file.
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited or copied onto another server.
