Chapter 6 Share And File Access - Adaptec 5325301638 Administrator's Manual

Share and File Access
Snap Appliance has implemented features to accommodate the disparate
methods used by the SMB and NFS protocols for sharing data. At the share
level, administrators can assign read-write or read-only share access to
individual Windows (and local) users and groups. Administrators can also
edit the NFS exports file to control how shares are exported to NFS client
machines.
The SMB and NFS protocols also part ways in their handling of file-level
permissions. Administrators can choose to apply Windows or UNIX-style
file-level permissions to entire volumes or to directories at the root of a
volume (aka SnapTree directories). These security-based directory
structures are referred to as SnapTrees. Files permissions in a Windows
SnapTree are set from a Windows client; in a UNIX SnapTree, they are set
from an NFS client.
