Solution: Use Mac OS X 10.6.x or earlier when using Time Machine to back up your Mac to a LaCie network hard drive."

(Which I find to be an extremely poor answer by the way).


On the other hand, I read on a WD support forum that they're working on a solution, and a firmware update for the WD live NAS series should appear in the next few weeks.

I have a LaCie Big5 NAS and LaCie is saying it may not be fixed!!

I have a Network Space Max and while LaCie lists it on their web site under this page, there is no update listed for it. Has anyone heard anything about a third party solution for LaCie?
