Managing Volumes, Shares and Storage
BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 33
Working with Volumes
By default, the available storage space in your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is configured into
one volume.
Creating New Volumes
As a BlackArmor administrator, you can create all the shares you want in the default volume,
or you can create a second volume using BlackArmor Manager. When you create a volume,
you can specify the size of the volume; any remaining space is available for the second
volume.
You can have one or two volumes on the drive, providing the first volume does not use all of
the drive’s space. For instance, you could use half the drive’s space for Volume A, and the
other half of the space on the drive to create Volume B.
To create a new volume, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). Volumes are in the
Storage menu. For more information on volumes, including deleting and modifying volumes,
see the online Help.
Working with Shares
Shares on the BlackArmor NAS 110 server can be either public (open to everyone, with some
restrictions) or private (restricted to selected user accounts).
As a BlackArmor administrator, you can create, modify, or delete shares at any time, as
required. However, when you delete a share, you lose all the files stored in that share. Use
caution when deleting shares from your server.
Private Shares
A private share is associated with one user account, and only BlackArmor users with
permission can access that share. Private shares are password protected. (As a BlackArmor
administrator, you can turn a private share into a public share by modifying the share’s
settings in BlackArmor NAS 110 Manager.)
You can limit share access by:
• Granting access to specified BlackArmor users only.
• Limiting some BlackArmor users to read-only access. Read-only access means that a
BlackArmor user can view files on the share, but can’t edit those files or upload files to the
share.
• Granting any BlackArmor user full access to the share, which allows the user to save and
back up files to the share, edit files on the share, and download any files from the share to
a computer or to a USB drive connected to the server (see page 48).
The owner of the share can also grant other people access to some or all of the files on
the share by using Global Access. See page 27.
