Raj, Why did you select the NORCO 4220 over the less expensive 4020?

I have an old tray that I'll trade for a new one.

Its best to wait for version 5 which will include AFP. No Idea when V5 with AFP support will be out.

I don't think that you want suction on the bottom. It will pull dust from the ground into the case,

You could look for a technical book store. San Diego used to have one.

What is DDWRT and SSL VPN? Why are they good to have? Thanks! DDWRT enables WOL and SSL VPN allows secure remote connection to your LAN.

Does manually creating this directory structure obviate the split level config?

I loaded unRAID-Web using the unMENU package manager. It says unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz. /boot/unmenu/29-unmenu-sysinfo.awk is present. I'm clicking on the SysInfo button on the left side under Extensions Menu. Then I select any of the dropdown menu items and get 404 - Not Found in the frame below.

Your right. I loaded unRAID-Web using the unMENU package manager. It says unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz

/boot/unmenu/29-unmenu-sysinfo.awk is present. I'm clicking on the SysInfo button on the left side under Extensions Menu. Then I select any of the dropdown menu items and get 404 - Not Found in the frame below.

How can I get SysInfo to work? It's returning 404 - Not Found.

type "ls /" and post the results.

type /preclear_disk.sh you might have to type "chmod +x /preclear_disk.sh" first

The UMA frame buffer steals about 200M of RAM in its default configuration. UMA FrameBuffer Size set to default (auto): root@192:/mnt# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1770 1729 41 0 241 1349 -/+ buffers/cache: 139 1631 Swap: 0 0 0 root@192:/mnt# After setting UMA FrameBuffer Size to 32M: root@192:~# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1993 382 1610 0 3 311 -/+ buffers/cache: 68 1924 Swap: 0 0 0 root@192:~# Note the total increases by 223M. This setting should go in the wiki under http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility#First_Time_Configuration.

You might consider DDWRT and SSL VPN.

Has anyone tried disabling these settings: I hate to think that 1/8 of my RAM is being wasted by a video buffer.

The current values are all well above the thresholds. The power off cycle count should not change. This indicates a power problem. I had a bad power connecter on my new PS. I changed the connector and the problem went away.

Time Machine only works if you install AFP.

I bet you could fit 2 boards inside and make 2 independent servers.

I'm using CCC to do incremental backups with archiving. It takes longer than TM but it happens in the background and I don't even notice. An hourly increment with archive takes about 4 min and writes about 200MB. TM is faster and uses less disk. My biggest complaint is that I have to trim the archives myself. I'm going to take a look at Crashplan. IMHO most mac users will not even consider a NAS that does not support AFP and TM.

How long have you run TM on SMB? If you use SMB for a week or so it will work. If you run on AFP most of the time and then run on SMB for a day or two before switching back to AFP then you will not see the problem. How long have you operated TM on SMB continuously? If your only choice is SMB (or NFS) and you run SL TM on SMB the sparsebundle will become corrupt and TM will stop working. UnRAID does not support support the current version of TM. I started using unRAID with the intention of installing AFP myself. With the promise of AFP in version 5 I have held off on installing AFP. I may install AFP if AFP support takes too much longer. AFP and TM support must be a priority if unRAID wants to entice the growing number of mac users.

Running on SMB?

TM will not work reliably on an SMB share. AFP is now required. You have done this on AFP. Do have SL TM working on SMB or NFS? Sparsebundles will only operate reliably over AFP. I have tried using Sparsebundles (without TM) over NFS and SMB and they are always corrupted within a week. From http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5180.msg54329#msg54329: There are no current references regarding TM working on anything other than AFP. Please see developer.apple.com and search for F_FULLFSYNC then Time Machine. There is integration between AFP and sparsebundles that is not replicated with SMB or NFS. Sparsebundle operation over SMB or NFS will always eventually result in a corrupted sparsebundle.

Starcat what your saying directly contradicts Apple documentation. Sparsebundles will only work reliably over AFP. Please provide details on how you are using unRAID to reliably backup using Snow Leopard and Time Machine. I have tried unsuccessfully to make Time Machine with SL work with unRAID. I find no online references that support what you are saying. All online references to TM working via SMB refer to earlier versions of MAC OS. OS 10.6 snow leopard now requires AFP for TM to operate correctly. Please provide references and/or details of your configuration.
