jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB v2.1.0-rc3

v2.1.0 Release Candidate 3

on GitHub

v2.1.0-rc3 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 if you are updating from an older version, 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).
• Fixes "disk not going to sleep" issue: make watchdog passive, use diskd-only mounting, and add internal ATA idle
• Increase deploy filesystem flush timeout for slow Time Capsule disks
• Exclude link-local interfaces from configure
• Add experimental flash function for NetBSD 4 devices

Known bug

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