Access Time Capsule files from Linux

Hi, sure, on anything other than Linux it works just fine.

@insympathy

Just wondering if this would help depending on what type of file system is used by the files on the Time Capsule

Hi 👋🏻 thanks for sharing, bit the system used is not yet APFS - it’s HFS+ and even that doesn’t really matter because I’m mounting it as a network resource and not directly as a physical device, that’s why my only options are AFP and SMB protocols

@insympathy - SMB is a bit of a wacky of a protocol as it can sit on top of NETBIOS or over UDP as well as TCP! MicroSoft also altered its implementation as well as it’s Port assignment.

Here’s a useful backgrounder IBM - Red Hat SMC Protocol

I would setup an Ethereal sniffer to monitor the dialog so see what’s happing on the wire. Here’s a good writeup SMC-R Interpretation Series – Part 1 and SMC-R Interpretation Series – Part 2

It’s been years since I’ve worked on SMC, I just don’t remember what Apple did and clearly this is a dead product offering so they won’t be updating it.
