FreeBSD+samba as a time machine server for OSX/Sonoma?

Last year you guys helped me get this to work with samba416. I recently tried to upgrade to samba419 and so far I'm unsuccessful. The error is "The backup disk image could not be created" and I'm running 14.1. I'm using the same port build options with 4.16 and 4.19: FAM PYTHON3 QUOTAS SYSLOG UTMP GSSAPI_BUILTIN AVAHI FRUIT Having learned my lesson when I upgraded from 4.13 to 4.16, I removed the old backups from the zfs volume on the server before starting. I've also learned the rule that you need to delete and reattach the share on the mac side when you change the samba config. Appended is the config that works with 4.16 (but not 4.19) Craig [global] workgroup = XYZ security = user netbios name = red server string = red.example.net hostname lookups = no server role = standalone server interfaces = ixl0 lo0 bind interfaces only = yes load printers = no show add printer wizard = no time server = yes use mmap = yes dos charset = 850 unix charset = UTF-8 mangled names = no #log level = 3 #log file = /tmp/samba.log vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr zfsacl fruit:model = MacSamba fruit:resource = file fruit:metadata = netatalk fruit:nfs_aces = yes fruit:copyfile = no fruit:aapl = yes fruit:zero_file_id = yes inherit permissions = yes [Time Machine] path = /backups/mini read only = no guest ok = no writeable = yes browseable = yes fruit:resource = file fruit:time machine = yes valid users = backup-mini max disk size 512G hosts allow = 10.0.0.19
