I just hit a problem with FreeNAS 8.3.1-Release-P2 for a Time Machine backup. I recently started running 2 virtual machines on my MacBook Pro (which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and is up to date in terms of software updates.) The virtual machines are 25 Gb each in size, so my backups have become huge. I've been backing up my 500 Gb hard drive to a FreeNAS afp share which is also sized at 500 Gb. So this means that Time Machine has to constantly delete old backups when a new backup is made.
Today, The afp share is reported as 100% full with 0 available space. My Time Machine backup has failed. I'm not sure why Time Machine is not removing old backups like it should.
I checked the FreeNAS documentation which says the Disk Discovery Mode in AFP Share Configuration Options, p. 134 of the 8.3.1 Manual, is either DEFAULT or "Time Machine". My setting is Time Machine. Should I change this to Default?
The afp share I'm using is actually on a 1 Tb hard drive, and I'm thinking of destroying the volume and resizing it to 1 Tb from 500 Gb so there is a bit more room for multiple backup sets.
Thanks
Bob
