That's not quite correct - spaces in file names are NOT illegal in *nix, and they do NOT provoke only errors, but: they need to be dealt with. And, if I remember correctly (and faintly), that's not different in MS products - file names with spaces NEED to be quoted there as well!

AFP_VOLUUID.CONF(5)						   Netatalk 2.2 					       AFP_VOLUUID.CONF(5)

NAME
afp_voluuid.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify UUID for Time Machine volume DESCRIPTION
/etc/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. 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 "tm" option in AppleVolumes file. This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server. EXAMPLES
Example. afp_voluuid.conf three TM volumes on one netatalk # This is a comment. "Backup for John Smith" 1573974F-0ABD-69CC-C40A-8519B681A0E1 "bob" 39A487F4-55AA-8240-E584-69AA01800FE9 mary 6331E2D1-446C-B68C-3066-D685AADBE911 SEE ALSO
