Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
After you define at least one RAID array, you can create a volume. You need to
create at least one volume before you can create users, groups, or shares.
To create a volume:
From the Manager Menu, click Storage
The Storage Volumes page appears.
From the New Volume area, set up these fields:
•
Array: Click the drop-down menu to select the array on which you want to
create the volume.
•
Name: Enter the name you want to give the volume. The volume name must
consist of at least one alphanumeric character, must begin with a letter, but
cannot contain any spaces.
•
Size (in MB): Enter the size for the volume, and then select the unit from the
drop-down menu. The final size of the shared volume is less than the size
you enter in this field due to filesystem overhead. The minimum volume size
is 32 MB. Volume sizes are rounded down to the nearest 32 MB increment.
