I recently had to do a factory reset on my ReadyNAS because of a corrupted volume. I set up my Time Machine using my own instructions (in the original post), which I had previously been using for four computers.
My backups have been working successfully for the last couple days, but today it said I exceeded my quota. I checked in FrontView under User Accounts and it says that I'm using 846540 MB out of the 384000 MB quota that I set. My hard drive only contains 200GB of data, so I'm not even using the quota. And now I can't even open the sparse bundle that holds my backups.
Note: This is the second time this has happened since the factory reset. The first time it happened I thought I screwed up a setting, so I did another factory reset.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Mac OS X 10.8.2. ReadyNAS Ultra 4 with RAIDiator 4.2.22.
