EMC-R100 and MAC OSX - Time Machine!

Hello,

just got my R100 250GB (still in box)…
one of the point to buy was to use it as kind of NAS for data store.
I'm working on Mac OSX Leopard.. and there is nice Time Machine (backup soft).
Is anybody tried to set it to work with R100? Any success..?
Thank you..

Ok, It's work…
The only think you will need is type this in terminal
"defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1"

And start your Time Machine.. you will see Partition 1 of your Emtec Cube ready to go!

But i have some other Q,
My R100 has 2.07 firmware is new and it has two partition fat32.
The NAS is already available. I can se it in Finder and connect by typing smb:\\192.168…..

So dose it mean that Samba is already there? Can I just madify a config to set a password or do auto USB mount?

Also the file transfer by my Wi-Fi from PowerBook to R100 connected to router is about 2.4 Mb/s. Will it be increased if I set FTP server?

Thank you.

The actual firmware is 2.0.9, Samba is active by default, but only for the MM partitions, not for the system.
USB is automount and you can modify your system if you can - read in tweakssection.
The transferrate seems to be normal, 2.7-3 here with cable and no difference with other protocol.
