I have a different problem. I recently shut down my DNS-323. After restart time machine doesn’t work. I don’t see the file in Finder either, but Timemachine says it’s there. When I check the Volumes in Terminal I see Volume_1-1 in stead of Volume_1. Any ideas how to fix that?

/dev/disk2 Apple_partition_scheme
/dev/disk2s1 Apple_partition_map
/dev/disk2s2 Apple_HFS
venky-s-macbook:Volume_1 venky$ fsck_hfs -rf /dev/disk2s2
** /dev/rdisk2s2
** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Rebuilding Catalog B-tree.
** The volume blue_backup could not be repaired.

I intend to use ur excellent instructions to setup time machine w/ a DNS-323. After the fsck have you had any more problems? Also, if I configure Appletalk on the 323 nas will it work better/faster and will I be able to see the drive when booting from the osx DVD to do a bare metal restore?

Hi,

This 2nd time working thing is quite strange (on hdiutil attach and fsck)… As I’m experiencing the same pb on my MacBookPro 802.11G NAS TimeMachine, i’ll try your hint this evening !

Thanks for sharing your experience !
