Time Machine & Lion

You are not alone. I have upgraded to Lion and upgraded my ReadyNAS Pro with the same issue that the network disk doesn't support the required AFP. I am also using the "unsupported disks" command via terminal as I need more than 2TB.
Please advise a solution.

Oops, guess I should have checked ReadyNAS NV+ compatibility before upgrading to 10.7.

Hmmm, I'll be computing without a safety net (timemachine backups) for a while. Scary.

Got my fingers crossed that an update is in the works for the NV+...

There's good news on yoh-dah's twitter feed on lion support for the sparc based readyNas.

Aparently they've made a breakthrough are looking to release the beta as soon as it's passed QA, possibly even later today.

I'm having this problem as well. I also get an error when attempting to enter Time Machine. I, however, own a ReadyNAS Duo 2110, and on the support site for that particular model, there is no updated firmware version. Can I use the one for the 2100 model..?

I've just updated my NV+ to the latest beta as advised and Time Machine is working happily again.

Many thanks to the team for such a fast response.

AFP and TM are still failing with the beta on my Duo. Posted details here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=55161

Same here, just upgraded to the beta (RAIDiator 4.1.8-T5 [1.00a043] ). I can mount afp volumes read/write, but timemachine doesn't work. The log in the console was:

21/07/2011 22:41:47.155 com.apple.backupd: Destination /Volumes/backup does not support TM Lock Stealing

THanks for the quick turnaround on the beta, am sure you'll get it all working pretty soon!

Thats weird, cause I just upgraded and I can't mount AFP volumes, but I can use Time Machine backups.
I had AFP working great last night, before the 4.1.8-T5 update, but now its just working for Time Machine and not Volumes.
Anyone have any ideas?

You're getting that error because you're not using the supported way of doing TM backups. You'll either need to edit the AFP config for that share or change to using the supported method. See http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=55166

OK, so got the Beta firmware, and shares now work again. However Time Machine still has a problem. I managed to mount the sparse bundle using a CIFs share, and here's the problem from Disk Utility:
Capacity : 429.5 GB (429,496,696,832 Bytes)
Format : Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) Available : 315.03 GB (315,034,570,752 Bytes)
Owners Enabled : No Used : 114.46 GB (114,462,126,080 Bytes)
Number of Folders : 223,083 Number of Files : 1,235,945

If Time Machine tries to write to the disk, I get
Disk space used: 401324 MB (Limits: 393216 MB soft, 393216 MB hard)
User 'ReadyNAS' is now prevented from using additional disk space.

I'm sure I'm not the only one. Anyone found what the problem is here? The RN itself has 28% free of a 1.5Tb volume.
