CIFS and NFS
Quantum DXi4500 User's Guide
• Robust administrative support - Administrators have the same
implicit permissions as they do in Windows operating systems.
Note: When you create a CIFS share, the initial permissions are the
same as the default permissions for a Windows 2003 share
with the addition of an ACE (Access Control Entry) that permits
full access to the share for all authenticated users.
Administrators can choose to remove this full access ACE, set
up custom permissions, or leave the ACL (Access Control List)
as is if the server is set up in a fully trusted environment.
NFS Protocol
The NFS (Network File System) protocol was originally designed by
Sun™ Microsystems and allows all network users to access shared files
stored on computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared
files through an interface called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs
on top of TCP/IP. Users can manipulate shared files as if they were stored
locally on the user's own hard disk. With NFS, computers connected to a
network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers
while providing remote users access to local shared files. This protocol is
used with UNIX and Linux networks. It can also be used with Windows
networks.
Note: In the DXi4500, NAS shares are optimized for backup rather
than file sharing.
