Hello, all. I'm running unslung 6.10, and have followed the instructions found in the wiki to setup a share that can be used as a Time Machine backup for OS X (10.5.8). Based on these instructions:
http://www.nslu2-
I successfully got afpd up and running (following the instructions in the section "Alternate Setup with AFP (Apple Filing Protocol)"), and then created a sparsebundle file in OS X using the instructions in the section "Basic Setup with Samba (SMB)". I copied the sparsebundle file to a folder on a self-powered external drive running on USB port 1. After restarting everything, I was then able to double click-the sparsebundle file and have the volume "Backup Drive" mount in OS X. However, Time Machine still cannot see the mounted volume.
Out of desperation, I did execute the command in OS X:
defaults write com.apple.systempre
... after which Time Machine was able to see the root network volume (HDD_!_!_!), but still not the successfully mounted volume based on the sparsebundle I created.
I realize that this question leans into the domain of OS X expertise, but nevertheless, the how-to exists on the wiki.
Does anyone have (successful) experience getting this to work with a sparsebundle volume sitting on a drive connected to an unslung NSLU? Could you share your experience?
Thanks in advance.
