Everything works fine until I get to the actual backup step in Time Machine. It seems to not like the network drive even though it let me select that drive to use as a backup. The situation I have is: external hard drive (linux partioned in full) connected to an Ubuntu linux box via firewire Is there something about this configuration that might be causing the problem?

The functions presented in this post are hard to understand without seeing the entire Sorter class found at http://www.pherg.net/2008/02/27/c-introsort/. Also look up C# generics to further understand what this is doing. The >> operator is the "shift-right" operator. It takes the binary representation of an integer and shifts all the bits to the right by the magnitude defined by the right-hand operand. In this code I am shifting a number to the right by 1, which actually performs an integer division by 2. For example, the base 10 integer "4" is represented as 0100 binary, and if you shift this to the right by 1 you get 0010, which is 2 (4 / 2). T[] is an array of any class that implements IComparable.

In this code I am shifting a number to the right by 1, which actually performs an integer division by 2.

(3 or 4 times). I just figured out SMB and now its all working- I am currently backing up over the network.

Just use smb://server instead. Looks like it works without netatalk as well, if you have Samba installed. Just use smb://server instead.

I've tried a multitude of things that have been suggested but I just can't get TM to allow backup to a network volume unless the volume is served from a Mac. Alas, this did not work for me.

I need to read the Wikipedia article and I will try to read this blog again to catch your next post. This looks interesting and I haven’t ever seen an implementation of introsort.
