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.
