I can see the last time it turned on was Jan 19, and it looks like you did some operations in the GUI. Do you have any idea those were? Any idea how to reproduce this? I tried all sorts of things, but I haven't been able to make it happen.
An entire week has gone by - with all maintenance operations etc. taking place - and the AFP has not switched on again. Last time it happened over the weekend, and I thought it might have been something to do with the automatic maintenance routines, but it does not seem to be the case.
Unless it happens again, I think it might have been a one-off. The week before it happened last, I updated the operating system and changed out one of the discs. I also switched off the AFP that week because with the new operating system it was creating problems for the SMB connections. Nothing else was done.
