Mac OS X 10.5: Time Machine stops backing up to external disk
After about 10 GB or more of data is backed up to an external disk, Time Machine may stop backing up. This may happen the first time Time Machine backs up your files.

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
