March 5, 201016 yr Maybe it's already possible, but I wouldn't know how. I would like to have a second disk outside the protected array, for the primary reason of having a dedicated disk for TimeMachine backups. I have a cache disk (500GB), but that won't hold the backups for 3 machines. The parity protected disks are safer, but slower, and since it's already a backup I don't really need another layer of protection. The risk of my system disk and backup disk crashing at the same time is.... well... just really darn small.
March 21, 201016 yr I thought about the same, but what is the problem having a disk outside the protected array and exporting its filesystem over the network? Must be AFP though.
March 22, 201016 yr I thought about the same, but what is the problem having a disk outside the protected array and exporting its filesystem over the network? No problem whatsoever. In your 'go' file... mount /dev/sdX1 /your/mount/point Then in your 'smb-extra.conf' file... [MyNewShare] path = /your/mount/point read only = No Both those files are in the config folder on you flash key.

To manage the "Must be AFP though." you will need to use Netatalk instead of samba as discussed in http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5184.0
June 2, 201016 yr Then in your 'smb-extra.conf' file... I don't have a 'smb-extra.conf' file in my config folder. I am using the latest version of unraid. Would love to get this setup.

That's because you need to create it. It will be used if it exists. Use an editor that does not put carriage returns at the ends of lines. (Linux uses line-feeds only, not line-feed/carriage-return pairs)
June 4, 201016 yr Tried NFS with the automounter in Snow Leopard for Time Machine out yet?! It's pretty cool. Format and mount that disk on unRAID, then echo \"/mnt/TimeMachine\" '-async,no_subtree_check,anongid=0,anonuid=0,all_squash' '*' >>/etc/exports; /usr/sbin/exportfs -r; then update /boot/config/go to make those changes persistent and put the TM sparsebundle on that new disk.
