NAS utilities
ASC provides several utilities you can use to manage your NAS Resources. They
are accessible by right-clicking on a NAS Resource and selecting the appropriate
option:
•
Remove/Add Journal
- (Linux only) For backwards compatibility
purposes,
Remove Journal
turns an EXT3 filesystem into an EXT2
filesystem.
•
Format
- Formats the NAS Resource and deleting all information on it.
•
Mount
/
Unmount
- (Depending upon mount status) Allows you to
manually mount or unmount a NAS Resource on/from the ASC server.
Clients should be disconnected before unmounting.
File System Checking
- Performs a file check on a NAS resource and fixes any file
system errors. This option disconnects all clients before executing file system
check.
Expand a NAS Resource
Since NAS Resources do not represent actual physical resources, they can be
expanded as more storage is needed. The resource can be increased in size by
adding more blocks of storage from any unallocated space from the same
server.
We do not recommend expanding an EXT2 or EXT3 resource while clients are
accessing the drives. However, when expanding an XFS resource, NAS clients
can remain connected.
