So, my late 2011 MBP A1278 has 10.6.8 on one physical SSD and 10.13.6 on a second physical SSD (this second SSD has macOS on an APFS container).
[I also have a late 2013 iMac running 10.13.6 on its OEM spinner, and that’s on an HFS+ partition (because it’s still a spinner).]
When connecting, via AFP, to my MBP (whilst booted into 10.13.6) from any and every of my other Macs, I run through the usual login of the AFP server. Instead of it presenting the usual, selectable list of share points (typically, user directory, public folder, and drives on the serving Mac), it skips that step and mounts the 10.6.8 volume only. Which is also to say: AFP server works fine, but for whatever reason does not offer the HS volume or my user directory on the HS volume as share points.
I’ve double- and triple-checked Sharing prefPane settings on the MBP in HS, and there’s nothing amiss there. (Obviously, when the MBP is running 10.6.8, AFP client connections to the MBP aren’t going to see the APFS volume, so that’s not an issue, and the AFP server behaviour from SL is as expected).
Were this occurring with just one client Mac, then I might look at ditching the keychain for that saved AFP connection and saving a fresh one on next login. But given this is a server-side pattern, I’m not really sure why neither the option to see the list nor the ability to mount the 10.13.6 volume as an AFP share point are available.
Eliminating the possibility this is a High Sierra-only quirk of the deprecated AFP, I tried connecting to the AFP server on the late 2013 iMac from all of my Macs, and that works precisely as expected, with the selectable list of all available share points in the list. It’s entirely possible this asymmetry is because the iMac is running on HFS+.
So I’m at a loss. This isn’t really a pressing concern, but it is kind of perplexing and one whose root cause is still not clear. Cheers.
