RAIDiator 4.1.8 - T5 Issues

[mdgm]

So you're running Mac OS X Lion on the machine that has this problem?

If you select Time Machine and then select Enter Time Machine and then click cancel I think the sparse bundle should still be mounted (at least it was on Snow Leopard). In the Finder select the mounted sparsebundle and go to File > Get Info or do a Command+I and report what is shown there.

So the quota for the ReadyNAS (TM) user is set to 1024GB, correct?

If you do a google search you'll note that the /etc/passwd file contains the addresses for the home directories for users. You'll note that the "ReadyNAS" (Time Machine) user's home directory is /var/lib/timemachine. Also if you do a ls to list the content of a directory note that to see hidden files (those that start with a ".") you should do e.g. an "ls -la"

The file you need to edit is /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default. At the end of the line for the share you want to use for TM backups you need to add "options:tm" to get e.g.

Code: Select all

"/backup" "backup" cnidscheme:dbd options:tm


No you should not do a resync. I do not think this a problem where the disks aren't properly synced, but you could try doing a reboot under System > Shutdown with a quota check.

OK. I found something odd. Maybe this will help. I ran a mac program called What Size and noticed three volumes that appeared when Time Machine was trying to do it this. You can see a screen shot here:

files.me.com/cipresse/kch474

MobileBackups is apparently something that TimeMachine adds to the local machine. It shows up in /Volumes too.
ReadyNAS is the mounted RN share for TM. You can see clearly that I have a 1TB capacity on it vs. 133GB.
TimeMachine Backups - I have no idea what this is or where it can be found. What's interesting is that it has nay 124GB of free space.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

[G4Monster]

Last thing. While Time Machine is running I went into What Size and right clicked on Time Machine Backups (white icon from my screen shot above) that only has 124GB of space. This is what Time Machine is trying to write to.

[mdgm]

MobileBackups appears to be a new feature in Lion.

It sounds like the problem is with your almost empty Time Machine sparsebundle. The best thing would probably be to stop your Time Machine backup, login to CIFS as "admin" and connect to the "c" share then go into the Terminal, browse to /Volumes/c/.timemachine and delete the sparse bundle. Run Time Machine again and hopefully a new sparsebundle will be created with the correct capacity.

[G4Monster]

mdgm: I don't understand what loging into CIFS as "admin" and "c" share means. I'm on a Mac not windows. But I think you know that which means I'm confused. I have AFP enabled and HTTP enabled from Front View. I don't have any empty sparse bundles that I can "see". I have logged into my Shares using 10.0.2.1/files but don't see "c" or any sparse bundles.

I'm sorry to be dense. I think I need more remedial help.

So you're running Mac OS X Lion on the machine that has this problem?

Yes. I'm running Lion.

If you select Time Machine and then select Enter Time Machine and then click cancel I think the sparse bundle should still be mounted (at least it was on Snow Leopard). In the Finder select the mounted sparsebundle and go to File > Get Info or do a Command+I and report what is shown there.

I did this. And I think you've found the problem ... Capacity = 134GB, Available = 133GB.

So the quota for the ReadyNAS (TM) user is set to 1024GB, correct?

No. 133GB as stated above.

If you do a google search you'll note that the /etc/passwd file contains the addresses for the home directories for users. You'll note that the "ReadyNAS" (Time Machine) user's home directory is /var/lib/timemachine. Also if you do a ls to list the content of a directory note that to see hidden files (those that start with a ".") you should do e.g. an "ls -la"

Do a google search on what? There is not string "ReadyNAS" in my /etc/passwd file. When I do a VI search in there I get the following "E486: Pattern not found: ReadyNAS".

The file you need to edit is /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default. At the end of the line for the share you want to use for TM backups you need to add "options:tm" to get e.g.

Code: Select all

"/backup" "backup" cnidscheme:dbd options:tm


There is no path to /etc/netalk on my Mac.

No you should not do a resync. I do not think this a problem where the disks aren't properly synced, but you could try doing a reboot under System > Shutdown with a quota check.

G4Monster: How did you delete the sparse bundle in one of your other posts?

Those files that mdgm is talking about are on the ReadyNAS

[G4Monster]

Chewie: I used http://10.0.2.1/ and got to the shares screen. Fro there I selected my directory where my sparse bundle was located. I selected it via the check box and hit the delete option.

How do I log into the NAS from the command line. This whole time I thought the guys were suggesting BSD on the Mac.

[G4Monster]

PLBKAF! OK. Chewie saved the day. I figured out how to SSH into my NG RN NV+. My backup has begun. Good lord! This whole time I was mucking around my shell on the Mac!

To e/one that's assisted the gimp (that's me), I appreciate your efforts, time and patience.

Can you guys try restarting Bonjour in the Services->Discovery page in FrontView?

This worked, although at first it didn't. When I disabled the service, then re-enabled, nothing was shown in Finder for the ReadyNAS. I rebooted, but it still didn't show up. Disabled, rebooted, re-enabled, and still no go. Restarted, disabled and re-enabled, and now it seems to be working.

Will check out T9 Beta now

Thanks for the reply!
