Reinstall OS?

I have setup Time Machine on my RN104. It was working at one point in time but now it has stopped. All it get is preparing disk... I have recreated both the time machine back job on my ReadyNas and Mac. But after the first back finishes with success, the next job it will not stop erroring . My console gets filled up with afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error, 100,000s of them and backupd is running 100%. I am running firmware 6.6.0.

 

Stopping the back process stops the error. Looking at the error it seems something is wrong with AFP (or netgears version)

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

 

So my question is reinstalling the OS worth trying or is there a known issue?

  • I have it fixed.  The problem turned out to be a know issue with my Mac.  I forget the CVE but basically I move my keychain DIR from library to my desktop.  Rebooted.  That fixed it.  Of cource I had to create keychain passwords.  :)

    Hello Freebird317,

     

    May I ask where exactly do you see the error message? If you can post a screenshot, please do.

        Hello Freebird317,

         

        Do you get any error in the admin page's backup job logs?
