View User Samba and FTP Login Information
Displays a list of open sessions for file sharing of Windows sharing and FTP. The login
username, the computer's hostname and IP address are listed for each session.
Format Drive
Formats a specific drive using a choice of ext3 or XFS file systems.
Caution: this function destroys data.
Choose a drive to format. If the drive is greater than 2TB in capacity choose the GPT
boot record, otherwise choose MBR. Finally, choose Linux EXT3 or Linux XFS for the
file system. After clicking Format Drive, the format utility will request confirmation.
Note: For highest possible performance, use the XFS file system.
After clicking “Yes, I'm sure,” the format utility will create and prepare one partition on
the selected drive, using all space on the disk. A page will load next confirming the
format is in progress. This page updates once every minute. Once formatting is
complete, the page will change to state it is done. Click any of the tabs above the
message to perform other tasks. If desired, this can be done before formatting is
complete; however, the drive being formatted cannot be used until formatting is done
and there
will be no further notifications.
Safely Remove Drive
Closes all pending I/O to a specified drive then “unmounts” it for removal.
Caution: best practice is to notify any and all users this will be done before proceeding
to prevent data loss. Abruptly removing a physical drive without notifying users or
using the Safely Remove Drive function may cause file system corruption and loss of
data.
Backup Internal System Configuration Information
Saves or restores all of the NAS 4.0 unit's settings using a specified drive. Select the
volume desired for backups. If backups exist on that volume they will be listed under
Backups, with comments if present.
To create a backup, add a backup comment if desired then click Create Backup. To
restore an existing backup, select the desired backup and click Restore Selected. The
currently selected backup may also be deleted using the Delete Selected button. All
three functions will request confirmation before proceeding.
Reboot
Restarts the NAS 4.0 unit.
Caution: best practice is to notify any and all users this will be done before proceeding
