The File Access page deals with shares. A share is a directory that can be mounted on one or more PCs and
filled with as many subdirectories and files as desired, up to the limit of the space in the disk pool in which that
share exists. A pool is a set of disk space that can contain one or more shares. See
Management" on page 15
in the same pool, then any space taken up by one share is space that isn't available for the other shares in that
pool, and if any one share fills up the space, no files can be written to any of the shares in that pool until some
files are deleted. Shares in other pools, however, will continue functioning normally.
Note: A disk pool must be created from the Disk Management page (see
Management" on page
This page also allows details of the file sharing protocols to be changed. Shares can be exported through either
CIFS for Windows-based PCs and Apple Macs or NFS for Linux and Unix machines.
Note: In the current Beta software release, the only file protocol options are to turn each CIFS and
NFS on and off. A future release will add support for various detailed performance and security
parameters of each protocol, parameters that can either be set for the whole system or be
overridden on a share-by-share basis.
