Time Machine not working afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1

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 and it runs but after the first back has finished it does not work.  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.

    Hi Freebird317

     

    It appears the issue you have described requires assistance from the engineers and/or higher tier who can remote in to the NAS and fix this from the backend. 

     

    Unfortunately, It shows on your records that the support warranty of your product is already expired. You may try contacting support center and avail a support contract. That should allow you to extend the support for your product so they can escalate your issue to L3 or patiently wait for anyone in the community who has the knowledge in the SSH commands and fixing some issues from the backend.

     

    Contact NETGEAR Support
