10.5: Limit size of Time Machine backups on Time Capsule
Authored by: finitesquid on Oct 15, '09 07:59:31AM

Has anyone tried this with 10.6 yet? It seems that the MAC address is no longer used in the name of the sparse bundle, and the 'hdutil -size' command is returning an error...

I've played around a bit (tried creating a new image, used Disk Util to resize, etc.), but no luck so far.

Tried on Snow Leopard: after about 10 minutes got a
<pre>hdiutil: resize: failed. Operation not permitted (1)</pre>
this is the command i used:
<pre>sudo hdiutil resize -size 400g -shrinkonly /Volumes/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/sparsebundle</pre>

Any idea?
