@localstatedir@/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to specify UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration lines are composed like:
"volume name" uuid-string
The first field is volume name. Volume names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the 36 character hexadecimal ASCII string representation of a UUID.
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored. .\}
.it 1 an-trap .nr an-no-space-flag 1 .nr an-break-flag 1
Note
This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide robust disambiguation of Time Machine volume.
The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it into afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "time machine = yes" option in afp.conf.
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server.
Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk
