+
+ <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>
