Time Machine Config Files

[techmon]

I'm seeing the following errors:

Nov 11 16:54:23 cnid_dbd[15449]: Couldn't open extension maping file /usr/etc/extmap.conf

Nov 11 16:54:23 cnid_dbd[15449]: Couldn't load extension -> type/creator mappings file "/usr/etc/extmap.conf"

/usr is readonly so I can't add the necessary files, can I change the location that cnid_dbd looks for extmap.conf?


This is the last error logged before the router automatically reboots, started happening when I enabled Time Machine functionality

You do not need to edit them, they can be ignored. The reboot is because of the format of the drive where you want to store the TM backups. I had that issue for many days until I finally figured it out. ASUS routers do NOT like the Apple file formats, I use EXT 4 now and all is well.

See this thread, especially my post #2. Good luck.
