[solved] netatalk for Time Machine Backup

Hi People,

I currently have a problem getting a Mac being backup'd to my Arch Server box running netatalk. I installed netatalk via yaourt and changed the configuration file /etc/afp.conf

;
; Netatalk 3.x configuration file
;

[Global]
; Global server settings
hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/24

[TimeMachine]
path = /mnt/timemachine
valid users = cjurk
time machine = yes

; [Homes]
; basedir regex = /xxxx

; [My AFP Volume]
; path = /path/to/volume

I've launched netatalk by using "systemctl start netatalk", but my Mac is not able to find the Backup volume within Timemachine. What can I do to get this working?

Update: I tried multiple thing to get it working. OS X was telling me "Unsupported version" every time I tried to access a file share from netatalk. Seems like there is something not working. Afterwards I replaced netatalk with netatalk-ddp from AUR and now it works. Sadly, the -ddp package seems not to be systemd-ready yet.
