4.2.25 & 10.9 Time Machine Capacity?
I just upgraded my Ultra 6 Plus to 4.2.25 and it looks like 10.9 is ignoring the capacity limit that I define for backups. On the Mac side, Time Machine is reporting all available space on the ReadyN...
After digging around a bit, I was able to use the following fix on my device...
You will need to enable root SSH access first (this can be downloaded as an add-on)
1) cd /var/lib/timemachine
2) vi .AppleVolumes
3) Change this line --> /c/.timemachine [device-name] cnidscheme:dbd allow:[user-name] options:tm
to --> /c/.timemachine [device-name] cnidscheme:dbd allow:[user-name] volsizelimit:500000 options:tm
The volsizelimit is in MB and can be adjusted to meet your needs.
4) /etc/init.d/netatalk restart
5) Log into FrontView admin web site and change the Time Machine capacity to be equal to or greater then what was set for volsizelimit above
The reason for the last step is because FrontView uses user quota settings to limit the size of backups where the volsizelimit parameter actually sets a volume limit. If the user quota is too small then Time Machine will error out at some point before volsizelimit is reached. Mac OS X seems to like the volsizelimit over the user quota setting.
