deleting sparsebundle - more questions

Postby lsh » Sat Aug 18, 2012 9:51 am

Using the instructions to log as ReadyNas using Finder (afp), I deleted a sparsebundle that we no longer needed. (long story: ran out of space, added a disk, now starting over).
Is there a 'trash' folder that I also need to delete? I didn't seem to see a change in space allocation.

Also, what happens when I take out the TimeMachine service? Do the files get deleted? I had to do this to startover once my volume was fully up and space was available, but I don't know if I left behind any garbage I need to clean up. I unchecked it. Rebooted the NAS, then checked it.

I'm also playing around with the ssh. I installed the ReadyNas service for it and successfully logged in. But i'm a new to Linux shell commands (Windows user switching to MAC) so keep that in mind! I see a network trash folder, but not sure where to go from there. Here's what I see from that folder using ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 8 ReadyNAS root 16384 Aug 18 12:20 .
drwxrwxrwx 14 root root 16384 Apr 21 15:31 ..

drwxr-xr-x 2 ReadyNAS nogroup 16384 Aug 17 15:36 .AppleDouble

drwxr-xr-x 3 root nogroup 16384 Jul 8 11:27 Network Trash Folder
drwxr-xr-x 3 root nogroup 16384 Jul 8 11:27 Temporary Items

Thanks. Lisa

There are some commands here you might find useful: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=42033&p=239030

When you delete a sparsebundle it wouldn't affect the quota allocated to Time Machine but it should mean there is more free space. What's the output of the repquota command in the link above.

Also, what's the output of
Code: Select all
# du -csh /c/.timemachine
# du -csh /c/.timemachine/*.sparsebundle
