You can verify and, if necessary, modify the media file system (SNFS) configuration file and still
keep your media file system intact if you carefully follow the steps in this procedure.
As an alternative to manually modifying the configuration file, if you need to make a new file system
after upgrading K2 software, the required values are set automatically by the upgraded version of
Storage Utility.
This task applies to the following devices:
•
K2 Solo Media Servers and stand-alone K2 Summit Production Clients. This includes internal
storage and direct-connect storage K2 Summit Production Clients.
NOTE: Make sure the write filter is disabled.
1. On a stand-alone K2 system, using Notepad, open the media file system (SNFS) configuration
file:
On a stand-alone K2 system, the configuration file can be either
C:\SNFS\config\default.cfg.
or
C:\SNFS\config\gvfs_hostname.cfg
, where
hostname
is the name of the K2 system.
2. On a stand-alone K2 system, verify, and if necessary modify, settings for required values as
follows:
# *********************************************************
# A global section for defining file system-wide parameters
# *********************************************************
GlobalSuperUser Yes
.
.
.
.
.
.
InodeDeleteMax 1000
.
ReservedSpace No
3. Close, and if necessary save, the SNFS configuration file.
If you made changes, the K2 system must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
The restart later in this upgrade procedure is sufficient to put the changes into effect.
Uninstall K2 software from stand-alone K2 system
1. Disable the write filter, if not already disabled.
2. Open the Windows
Add/Remove Programs
control panel.
3. Select
GrassValleyK2Client
. and click
Remove
.
4. When prompted "Are you sure...?", click
Yes
.
5. When prompted to restart, do not restart.
While a restart is required after installing K2 Client software, you can delay the restart until after
other tasks are complete.
