Storage Management
The storage management features built into the NAS server are composed of three main
features and are applicable at the directory level of a share. These features include:
■
Directory Quotas
■
File Screening
■
Storage Reports
Each of these feature sets are describe below. For procedures and methods, refer to the online
help available within the web UI via the ? in the right hand corner of each accompanying
feature management page.
Note: The storage management features are not supported in a clustered environment. In a clustered
environment, these features should be uninstalled as instructed in the Cluster Installation Guide. See
Figure 86 .

Directory Quotas
Directory quotas provide a way to limit and monitor space consumed by all files in a folder.
For information on setting quotas on volumes, see Chapter 5.
Directory quotas limit the size of the managed object regardless of who writes to or who owns
files in the managed object. For example, if a 50MB directory quota is set on the managed
object c:\users\JDoe, that directory and all its contents will be limited to 50MB regardless of
who owns the files in that directory or who writes files to that directory.
Directory quotas allow for the addition, deletion, monitoring, and changing of space limits for
selected directories on the NAS server. Directory quotas provide disk space monitoring and
control in real time, and support active and passive limits with two real-time space alarms.
