Drobo FS on Lion [solved]
On december 13th, Drobo released a new firmware update (1.2.1) for the Drobo FS. I tested this updated and for me it fixed the problems I had with Lion, Time Machine and the Drobo. On december 29th, they also released an update for the Dashboard.
The dashboard seems a bit snappier, though it’s not mentioned in the release notes.
Sadly it took Drobo 16 weeks to deliver this firmware update, but it does fix my Lion and Time Machine issues with the Drobo. So the Drobo is back to the way it was the summer of 2011. The transfer speeds are around 28MB/s again, which is way better than the 3MB/s I’ve seen.

Waiting for the firmware release I tried to find another NAS to replace the Drobo, but could not find any good solution. So I bought some hardware to build my own. I will publish the results as soon as I have something stable.
