NV+ v1 (4.1.16) How to increase Time Machine capacity?

Question

Hello all,&nbsp;I am in need of assistance with increasing the available space for Time Machine backups...&nbsp;I have an NV+ V1 that I just upgraded from 4.1.14 to 4.1.16. &nbsp;I am trying to create a *new* Time Machine backup, but the TM preferences pane is reporting only 109GB of 1.4TB are available (my new sparsebundle will be at least 1TB.) &nbsp;The TM configuration panel in FrontView is reporting a max capactity of 1342GB; however, the Volume Setting panel is reporting 1392GB of 2743GB in use.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, how can I increase the available capactity for TM backups? &nbsp;I have four 1TB drive in an X-RAID configuration.&nbsp;&nbsp;The relevant shell outputs are below.&nbsp;Thank you,Ira&nbsp;&nbsp;LupoNAS:/# repquota -as&nbsp; &nbsp;*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/c/cBlock grace time: 30days; Inode grace time: 30days&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Block limits&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; File limitsUser&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; used&nbsp; &nbsp; soft&nbsp; &nbsp; hard&nbsp; grace&nbsp; &nbsp; used&nbsp; soft&nbsp; hard&nbsp; grace----------------------------------------------------------------------root&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; &nbsp; 123M &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 62 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;admin &nbsp; &nbsp; -- &nbsp; &nbsp; 128 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Backups --&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 40 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 10 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Media -- &nbsp; 1264M &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;sandy &nbsp; &nbsp; +- &nbsp; 1419M &nbsp; 1200M &nbsp; 1500M 29days&nbsp; &nbsp; 6943 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;iwolf &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; &nbsp; 150G&nbsp; &nbsp; 157G&nbsp; &nbsp; 196G&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 11975 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Users -- &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ReadyNAS&nbsp; -- &nbsp; 1241G &nbsp; 1342G &nbsp; 1342G &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 318k &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LupoNAS:/# df -h &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Filesystem&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Size&nbsp; Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/hdc1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.9G&nbsp; 555M&nbsp; 1.3G&nbsp; 29% /tmpfs&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16k &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; 16k &nbsp; 0% /USB/dev/c/c&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2.7T&nbsp; 1.4T&nbsp; 1.3T&nbsp; 51% /cLupoNAS:/# uname -aLinux LupoNAS 2.6.17.14ReadyNAS #1 Wed Jun 20 20:08:20 PDT 2012 padre unknownLupoNAS:/#&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ok, I figured it out with the use of setquota as referenced in a similar but older thread. &nbsp;The trick is that the max limit (for me) is 2000GB, not 2TB (2048GB.). The 2048GB value wouldn't stick (i.e. setquota passed, but repquota showed the old value.)&nbsp;Now to understand why 2000GB is the max quota value in 4.1.16, while the NAS capacity is 2.7TB in a 4x1TB XRAID configuration...&nbsp;Best,Ira&nbsp;LupoNAS:~# setquota -u ReadyNAS 2097152000 2097152000 0 0 /dev/c/c &nbsp;LupoNAS:~# repquota -as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/c/cBlock grace time: 30days; Inode grace time: 30days&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Block limits&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; File limitsUser&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; used&nbsp; &nbsp; soft&nbsp; &nbsp; hard&nbsp; grace&nbsp; &nbsp; used&nbsp; soft&nbsp; hard&nbsp; grace----------------------------------------------------------------------root&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; &nbsp; 123M &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 50 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;admin &nbsp; &nbsp; -- &nbsp; &nbsp; 128 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Backups --&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 40 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 10 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Media -- &nbsp; 1264M &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;sandy &nbsp; &nbsp; +- &nbsp; 1419M &nbsp; 1200M &nbsp; 1500M 29days&nbsp; &nbsp; 6943 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;iwolf &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; &nbsp; 150G&nbsp; &nbsp; 157G&nbsp; &nbsp; 196G&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 11975 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;NAS_Users -- &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ReadyNAS&nbsp; -- &nbsp; 1193G &nbsp; 2000G &nbsp; 2000G &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 305k &nbsp; &nbsp; 0 &nbsp; &nbsp; 0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
