After a volume is created, the default public n shared folder will also be created. You can now

“
Size to use
”
is measured in the unit of
“
GB,
”
i.e., gigabyte, and the smallest unit is decided by
dividing the size of the hard disk by 20 to get the nearest whole number. For example, if the
size of a hard disk is less than 40 GB, the smallest unit is 1GB, while the size of the hard disk is
greater than or equal to 40GB and less than 60GB, the smallest unit is 2 GB, etc.
2. Regardless of the hard disk size, the option
“
1GB
”
will always be shown in the
“
Size to use:
”
menu.
3. The size of a single volume can be up to 8 TB.
4. After a volume is created, the
“
In Use:

size will reveal 1% of that volume. This space is
reserved by default for the administrator to do the necessary operations such as accessing the
web UI or reading/writing/deleting data on the NAS server after the system is full.
Re-create volume
If a volume is crashed due to any failed disk, the volume structure could be recovered by clicking
the
“
Re-create
”
button.
The re-creating function can only re-create the original structure of the crashed volume: share
folders and users
’
home folders, and set it as the default volume if it originally was setup as such.
It cannot restore any lost data in these shared folders.
Before you start recreating, please make sure the failed disk is replaced with a new one.
Note:
1. When a volume crashes, all data in users
’
home folders on the crashed volume will also be
destroyed. However, the structure of the folders will be moved to the next available volume,
and the original folder structure will be moved back after the crashed volume is re-created.
2. When a volume crashes while there is no other volume available, the data in users
’
home
folders on the crashed volume will be destroyed and the users
’
accounts will be transferred into
the guests group. There will be no home folders for these accounts if the volume is re-created
in the future since the accounts in the guests group don
’
t have a home folder.
