When I navigate to /mnt/HD/HD_a2  I only see the FFP dir and the shares I have created, but no OEM OS files. 

That's 3 levels too deep! you need to back out to / !! There you will see etc alongside mnt and bunch of others.

[hardworking]

Ahh!  Sorry - yes... I was getting confused as to where I was in the tree.  LOL!!

OK... I still don't have an /etc/avahi folder though!

I have done a fair bit of reading, but can't work it out.  The 320L supports AFP out of the box, I just wished I could get rid of SMB. 

[priitv8]

OK, seems the OS version on 320L is a bit newer than on mine (325) and the location of the files might have changed.
SSH as root into command line and run the following command:

find / -name "samba.service" -print

And see if you can spot the location

Hmm... I got this reply...

root@Moses:/# find / -name "samba.service" -print
/mnt/root/etc/avahi/services/samba.service
find: File system loop detected; `/mnt/HD/HD_a2/squeeze' is part of the same file system loop as `/'.

[priitv8]

OK, then you will rm the samba.service from /mnt/root/etc/avahi/services/ and cp your afp.service to the same place. MC makes it easier with F8 and F5 and visual feedback.
Seems that squeeze has created a circular reference in your filesystem. Why, whether it will hurt you later and how to fix, I unfortunately have no answer at the mo.

Ok - So far so good.

So I created a file called afp.service in /mnt/root/etc/avahi/services

I used the text you supplied!!  YIPPEE!!

You are a legend!!

I just checked with Get Info and I am not connecting using AFP!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

How did you get the funky icon though?  Mine still shows a dodgy screen icon.

How did you get the funky icon though?  Mine still shows a dodgy screen icon.

That's the model=Xserve key in _device-info._tcp that Finder knows how to interpret.
<service>
   <type>_device-info._tcp</type>
   <port>0</port>
   <txt-record>model=Xserve</txt-record>
</service>

Try to restart Finder or sign off and back on.
You might also check under Network how does it show.
I have the 10.8.2 and it displays the correct device icon as soon as I copy afp.service to Avahi.

Hi,

Thanks.  Yeah not sure why it's not working.  Not too concerned, as it comes up at least.  

Here is what I get.  My NAS is called Moses.  (Don't ask)  LOL!!!

EDIT - SCRATCH THAT!!  It just changed!  Woo hoo!

Again... thanks mate!

Now I have everything running perfectly.

Cheers
John

Hmm... Just found out if I reboot the NAS, it dumps the new AFP.SERVICE and re-installs the Samba.Service.

Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this?

Cheers
John

[priitv8]

Yes, that's what I said a week ago:

To make this excercise survive reboot, you would need to find where /etc/avahi/services is stored on FLASH device and copy the file there (should be quite along the lines of store-password.sh from nas-tweaks), but I haven't bothered with this yet. I keep my NAS on 24/7.

Problem is, NAS reloads all config files fresh from Flash storage during reboot.

[hardworking]

Ahh.  I see - I didn't quite follow that last post, but I get it now.

So this would be an easy fix!  I have some other things running in a script at startup for Squeeze such as Sickbeard and SabNZBD.  I could have it copy the afp.service to the folder, and then delete the samba file.

That might work.
