Time Machine cannot see 2nd Logical Volume

I have an RN104, it has 4x3TB disks in it, configured into 2xRAID 1 volumes.

The 2nd Volume was recently added so that I could enable and use Time Machine for my Mac Backups.

 

Here's the rub, when I start to configure Time Machine, it can only see the remaining space in the 1st volume, I cannot find a way to configure Time Machine to see or use the available space in the volume I specifically installed for the Time Machine backups.

 

Any thoughts/views/answers?

 

Regards,

Glenn.

  • Hello Thresherinc,

     

    The /data/home/USER/.timemachine is where Time Machine stores the data, this home folder is always in the default/1st volume of the NAS and can never be moved.

      Bugger!

       

      Thank you for the info, I shall expand the current volume then, I was hoping to keep the volumes seperate, but I guess it's not 'that' important.

        You can also move shares from the first volume to the second.
