jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB v3.1.1

on GitHub

There is now a macOS GUI installer app (for macOS 14+)

• Download TimeCapsuleSMB.app.zip below
• Can use your old AFP backups, now fully supports native Apple metadata on HFS filesystem

What's Changed

• Symlinks now work over SMB
  • Links made by AFP, SSH or earlier releases show up as real symlinks on macOS, Windows and Linux clients
  • New links made over SMB are stored as native links, so AFP, SSH and SMB all see the same link
  • Windows mklink and the Linux client's symlink, NFS and WSL link types are supported; mklink /D is refused
  • XSym link files written by earlier releases keep working
  • Work around a journaling bug in Apple’s HFS driver that could panic the device during heavy link activity
• Fix Samba stability
  • Fix smbd child processes that could abort after fork
  • Stop harmless HFS kernel warnings when Finder browses folders
• Improve native NetBIOS (NBNS):
  • Bonjour stays responsive while NBNS is being checked
  • Remove Apple’s competing NetBIOS processes without restarting discovery or dropping Bonjour
  • NBNS now always runs when the device is eligible; the --no-nbns flag and the app toggle are removed
• macOS app:
  • Reorganize and fully localize device settings and every deploy stage
  • Fix stale deploy progress that could overwrite a finished result
  • Explain discovered devices that only have a link-local address instead of showing a blank SSH target
