I just got the 2TB white light unit - and seem to be a bit confused.

What I was hoping for, was to set it up with JBOD - thinking I'd get two volumes (effectively), one for Time Machine backups, and one for me to drop files (i realise they wouldn't be backed up).

In Finder - i get two shares - MyBookWorld, and MyBookWorld-Backup

I thought I set up Time Machine to point to the latter. I certainly can't access it via Finder, and when I set up TM I had to enter the user name and password. Everything seemed to work ok.

And I dropped a load of files onto MyBookWorld with no issue.

However, now I seem to think everything is on the same drive. I look in the control panels stats and the extended volume is at 0% capacity - as though it's not being used, and the regular volume's capacity adds up considering how much Time Machine is using, plus what I've dropped on the drive myself.

When I set up TM - i definitely point it to "WD_Backup on MyBookWorld-Backup" as a drive to select.

Am I misunderstanding something? Do i have to set up a share for the extended volume or something? I don't seem to be able to access the extra drive at all.

Page 124 (http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705013.pdf) in the User's Manual tells how to change the drive configuration. It comes from the factory in a RAID1 configuration and can support JBOD.

There's also a section in the manual on Time Machine which might be useful too.

Thanks yeah - i read that - i am wondering if i have to set up a share on the extra volume in order to access that drive. I will try that tonight.
