jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB v2.1.0-rc1

v2.1.0 Release Candidate 1

on GitHub

v2.1.0-rc1 is considered stable enough for release soon. Most bugs and issues have been patched.

This update changes the name of the device (we now use Apple's naming "James's Airport Time Capsule" instead of the name used in previous versions "Time Capsule Samba 123"), so you will need to remove the drive from Time Machine and reboot your Mac, and re-add the drive with the new name

What's Changed

• Updated Samba from Samba 4.8.12 (from 2019) to latest Samba! (Currently Samba 4.24.1 from 2026).
  • Set capture mDNS as primary source for records, generate mDNS as fallback
  • Remove local Bonjour/NetBIOS naming. This fixes "FAIL SMB directory create timed out" doctor failures
  • Add MaSt check retry to deploy. This prevents "no writable persistent volume found" deploy errors

Known bug

• Time Machine backups occasionally fail due to mdns disappearing, #105
