B.1 Disconnecting from Shared Folders
If you need to reconfigure the disks in your storage system or shut it down for any reason, all
users should disconnect from the shared folders to ensure that the process proceeds smoothly.
You might also want to have users disconnect from the shared folders if you want to change
their access rights, since otherwise the change will not take effect until the user shuts down
the computer.
The procedure for disconnecting from a shared folder varied, depending on the operating
system used by the user.
Windows users
Windows users can disconnect from a shared folder using either My Computer or Windows
Explorer, or the Storage System Console.
To disconnect from a shared folder using My Computer or Windows Explorer:
1. Close any files that you currently have open in the shared folder.
2. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive for the shared folder and then
click Disconnect from the pop-up menu.
3. The shared folder should no longer appear in My Computer or Windows Explorer.
To disconnect from a shared folder using the Storage System Console:
1. Start the Storage System Console.
2. In the left pane, double-click the name of the storage system that contains the shared
folder from which you want to disconnect. The storage system name will expand to display
all the available shared folders.
3. In the left pane, select the name of the shared folder from which you want to disconnect,
and then click “Unmap Drive Letter”.
Linux users
To disconnect from a shared folder using Linux, unmount the desired shared folder by entering
the following command: “umount /my_directory” where my_directory is the name of the local
directory. For example, if you mounted the shared folder using the following command: “mount
192.168.0.101:/nas/NASDisk-00002/public /my_directory” you would unmount it using the
following command: “umount /my_directory”. If you included a longer path when mounting the
shared folder (such as “/mnt/my_directory”), use the same path wen unmounting it.
