Hi,
Thanks for the article. When you're creating your 390 GB sparse bundle, does it really work once the disk image is moved to the NAS?
I have a 1 TB My Book World Edition NAS, and I'm trying to configure it to store Time Machine backups of 2 different Macs.
The problem I'm facing is: when I'm using hdiutil locally (on the Mac) to change my sparseBundle's image size, it works, but once moved to the NAS, both the Finder and Time Machine show "978 GB in total", which is the total size of the NAS, not the one I configured for the sparseBundle.
This means that if Mac A has, say, a 200 GB backup and Mac B a 800 GB backup, both future backups will fail because:
- Time Machine thinks it still has lot of room to perform its backup
- technically, the NAS is full
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks
