+    <para><filename>:STATEDIR:/netatalk/afp_voluuid.conf</filename> is the
+    configuration file used by <command>afpd</command> to specify
+    UUID of Time Machine volume automagically. The configuration
+    lines are composed like:</para>
+
+    <para><replaceable>"volume name"</replaceable>
+    <replaceable>uuid-string</replaceable></para>
+
+    <para>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.</para>
+    <para>The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored.
+    The lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        <para>This UUID is advertised by Zeroconf in order to provide
+        robust disambiguation of Time Machine volume.</para>
+        <para>The afpd generates the UUID from random numbers and saves it
+        into afp_voluuid.conf, only when setting "time machine = yes" option
+        in afp.conf.</para>
+        <para>This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied
+        onto another server.</para>
